Those billions of lines belong to lots of separate, unrelated projects. They also include things like configuration and test code.

It's not the same argument. If you add a million lines to windows, it doesn't make android more complex. Even if you were to copy both source trees into the same folder. That's the point.

So to just look at combined LOCs among independent projects (except that they depend on the same utility libs) isn't a valid measure of complexity, which you both know full well.

(at this point there's surely way more than 13 million, but, whatever the number is these days... 20 million... 30million...)

No, but they belong in the same product and are somewhat related. 13 million related lines in one complex project is not the same as the same amount scattered across things that don't have anything to do with each other whatsoever.

THEY DO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER. They are a measure of how much code it takes to do SOMETHING. In Google's case, it's the products from Google. In Linux's case, it's Linux. What is so hard to understand about this???
