This is too stupid so I had to check.

Fuck me.

Unfortunately, it makes sense if you know what + means, which is concatenate. - is strictly a math function though.

Not saying that makes this better. It just makes sense.

It is 'comprehensible' in the sense that it's possible to figure out how it happened, but it absolutely does not "make sense" in terms of being a reasonable language design decision. It's 100% incompetence on the part of the person who created Javascript.
