I'm going to argue that I have seen no evidence that writing methods any smaller than 150 lines produces any measurable benefits. I'm further going to argue that you haven't either. Your above assertions are baseless; they are founded on sand. They are nothing more than an aesthetic you have developed. Like all nostrums, they benefit the salesman and not the patient. It is a common human activity: make shit up and pretend it's celestial truth. It's as obvious and self-evident as hierarchies of angels.
