Slide 25: "Most Metrics' values increase with code size". The point about non-linear increase in defects is my (unwarranted) extrapolation. An earlier slide quotes a 25% increase in complexity gives a 100% increase in size. No, it really doesnt rise to his standards of rigor. Everything that I have read, supporting that conclusion is probably anecdotal. The formal studies I have read have usually involved college students on short projects. Studies that are probably worth less than useless. Others probably suffer from the Hawthorne effect.
