Not really Don.

I just find when you give someone a huge "lump" of code to work with they tend to mentally lose track of the constraints they _should_ be working within. I think Niels comment on the topic was spot on.

Remember I'm coming from the perspective of someone who has spent 30+ years trying to educate old-school RPGers that monolithic programs are a bad idea and that small is beautiful. Making them think in terms of smaller chunks of code is part of that process.

Jon can you elaborate a little on this comment please.
