Hrmm, this is an interesting observation. In general I'm not a huge fan of Kent Beck or Uncle Bob as I've felt that their zealotry for "clean code" gets in the way of them actually creating valuable software.
I've always been of the mindset that if the code isn't a little "gross" it's probably not doing anything very interesting.
