I didn't mean to give the impression that's it's easy. Translating assembly to a higher level language requires a good deal of creativity and interpretation, but it's not a skill that's limited to a handful of people. There are entire communities out there full of people who reverse engineer code, especially when it comes to videogames.
However, I agree with your earlier statement that expecting the P1999 community to do this is unreasonable. Secrets presents it as a trivial matter, even though someone with experience would still have to spend a non-trivial amount of time working out the actual code from the mass of assembly.
