"There is a direct and measurable causal relationship between number of LOC and number of bugs" Does that apply cross-language, or just within a given language

  From what I understand, raw number of lines of code, taking absolutely nothing else into consideration, is the most reliable indicator of bug count by a wide margin. I bought the book this morning to read it for myself but haven't had a chance yet due to work. It's Chapter 8 of "Making Software" (which can legally be had for free I believe)
