Yes of course there are examples that defy consistent evaluation by any given metric, and I thought we were in agreement that their misuse was dreadful, but you seem deaf to the idea that metrics are just clues, the answers lie in the code itself, and that without metrics there is nothing short of domain knowledge and production feedback that can help to distinguish one blob of code from from millions of others.

And just how much effort do you think it takes to run some code through a metric-gathering program?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
