Indeed, you claimed only "no difference in readability".
But I wouldn't agree that there is "no difference in readabilty" between
Exhibit A and B above.
In case B one e.g. would need to check whether all _four_ occurances of
'container' are actually the same. An issue that does not exist in case A.
