C is a high-level language that deals in abstractions. Assembler is, at its simplest, a set of mnemonics that map one to one to the binary machine code instructions. Electrically gating the contents of two registers to two inputs of an ALU and reading and storing the result is NOT the same thing as writing "myVal += hisVal;". Used car salesmen will tell that a little ol' lady from Pasedena only drove it on Sundays, to church, too. Self-appointed wannabe gurus will tell you anything they can get you to uncritically believe, if you'll only promise to be their acolyte and not ask questions.
