Ok. But I still argue that programs with many short functions will have fewer defects, because they will be shorter. When I first adopted the 'short function' style, I was amazed to discover how often those little functions end up being reused. I expect that if you hand me any program where the average function size is more than about 20 lines, I would be able to refactor that program into short functions and reduce the line count by half or more.
