I remarked that a proper HLL would let you write just A to either read
the value of variable A, or write to it. Eg. A = A, without special
operators to dereference A's address.
 
At the lower level it might be push/pop, load/store, or even *&A = *&A,
but in all cases you typically use the same levels of indirection on
both sides.

No. (And I think here lies your misconception or irritations concerning
the term "symmetry".) When writing 'A = A' there is still a semantical
_asymmetry_ in "C", it only appears symmetric (because of the chosen
operator symbol and the implicit 'deref' operation which is typical in
most programming languages).
