I can't contain my curiosity: what's the line?

I once worked with a colleague who had a superstition that any
one-line change to production software was almost certain to
introduce a bug.  (Actually what he said was "one-card change",
which indicates how long ago this was.)   If he had to make
a modification simple enough to be done in one line, he would
always combine it with some other random harmless change like
renaming a variable.
