[Guido van Rossum]

We need more than a single example to decide which rules bites worse for large programs. Deep nesting is not common; long functions are. And there the common annoyance is that a change in line 150 can break the code in line 2 of the function.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this. Can you share an example? (Not necessarily 150+ lines long, of course.) Thanks.
