My favorite and severely underrated code review trick is positive reinforcement: "Oh nice, a cleanly separated MakeSnafucated function! I'm working on document level snafucation, and just being able to call this will save me a lot of time! Thanks!" If the coder has any potential, not only will they write more modular code like that in the future, but they'll do so happily rather than complain to management about your so-called perfectionist nitpicking.
