Yeh, I understand that quite well. The point was that all a
decompiler has to do is play pseudo-JVM and you've got byte
code that can be translated to java.

Translating asm back into C isn't that hard. People forget
that you don't have to make the C look exactly like it did
before the compile, all you have to do is make it do what
the assembly tells you it's supposed to do.

Code isn't hard. People make it hard.
