Isn't it relatively well established, though, that IBM culture at
least for a very long time put heavy emphasis on counting lines of
source code, and that more SLOC was considered to be better?
That's just stupid.
You're getting no argument from me there.
It was likely true that some parts of IBM put heavy emphasis on LOC, but
as Marc points out, that wasn't true in Research. I don't remember heavy
LOC emphasis in AIX groups, and I suspect even in Boca (OS/2) there was
not "heavy" emphasis.
