Everybody knows that carrying around code which is either rarely used
or not used at all is an overhead
everybody knows that claims without measure the impact are worthless
Some things are so obvious that they do not need scientific proof. For
example, in a motor vehicle the power-to-weight ratio is important as it
affects engine performance and fuel economy. In other words, for a given
engine size the lower the weight of the car and the better the fuel
consumption. The more weight you add the lower the performance. Your car
has a heater which you only use when it's cold
pretty sure you know why you removed "it can even happen that due the
implementation other code paths which would not have been touched
otherwise may get optimized due refactoring and the end result can be
even faster in general" beause it may make all your claims and car
comparison worthless at the end of the day
software development is not pure physics and as example code-inlining as
a optimization step of modern compilers proves that all your claims are
wrong until the implementation exists and can be measured
