The point I'm making is that if I'm accusing you for writing functions
that are too long (they don't fit on my editor window), you can counter
that they fit perfectly well on yours.

No-one has 1,500-line editor windows, I suppose. However, screen sizes
have been going up and some people prefer to turn their screens into
portrait mode (tried it, made my neck hurt). Years back, I had 24 lines
on the screen. As screen sizes have gone up, I've allowed for longer
functions as well. Now I'm at 70. Of course, most functions tend to be
much shorter.
