  "When a very well-known and widely respected computer scientist
  recently used [lines of code as a measure of] programmer
  productivity in a lecture, the suggestion came from the audience
  that, instead of talking about "the lines of code produced" we
  should talk about "the lines of code used" and that, therefore, the
  speaker was booking them on the wrong side of the ledger. The
  speaker answered that he stuck to his productivity measure, because
  he did not know of any alternatives that allowed proper
  quantification!"
