I've always wondered about this quote. I'm thinking it means you might want to have functions or subroutines, depending on the language, to do big chunks of logic, so the main control flow is clean and easy to read, like "structured programming" in COBOL. Still, every language offers almost unlimted indentation, so it's up to the programmer to not use it? Frank L.
