> A 100 line function can introduce subtle interactions between the first and 99th line. Whereas a three line function, the graph of potential dependencies is much smaller. Interesting. And what happened with the other 97 lines of code? A fair comparison would be a 100 line function and maybe 20 functions of 5 lines and maybe 20 additional lines for function signatures plus maybe 20 lines coordinating the 20 functions. We also then have introduced 20 function names.
