yes it is actually. if your function has a logical branch then it is doing more than one thing. if your function has a logical branch within a logical branch then it is doing exponentially more things and this complexity continues to grow exponentially.

therefore, if you have a logical branch you ask yourself: does it make sense to create a function here? the answer may be yes or no. if you create a nested logical branch you ask yourself: does it make sense to create a function here? the answer still may be yes or no but the weight of the evidence for yes has increased exponentially.
