Do you have intellisense in your eyes? A line of code with a handful of named parameters reveals its intentions (and possibly also its correctness) for more readily than a line of code with a laundry list of parameters that you need to mouseover then do a bit of mental juggling to line up which value lines up with which parameter. In doing so you've likely interrupted and degraded your reading of the code and you've definitely degraded your ability to readily spot the difference between correct and incorrect code.

Actually, you guys are right. I realized the flaw in my thought process right after I read seasoup's post.

I do, however, have intellisense in my eyes.
