Sometimes I write long functions because I do not have time to write a shorter function. Eventually, if I have time, I go back and refactor a much shorter and tidier version. While later versions may be somewhat more efficient computationally, it is mostly a no-op beyond the aesthetics. What is the LoC for that function? The first implementation or the final rewrite? They express the same thing.
