I have to disagree with this. If the function is larger, then the mental cognitive overload to understand (and follow the flow) is much higher. If a 1000 line method is divided into 10 methods with each 100 lines, and if those 10 methods are named appropriately, then it would be much easier to understand the flow. It also gives a high-level picture of what the function does, and if needed, I can always jump into particular sub-routine.
