> Suddenly, you realize that the dozens of functions __need to be called in specific orders__, and they are each only ever used once. So really what you're doing is forcing someone to know the magic order these functions are composed in order for them to be of any use.

That's where nested functions show their true utility. You get short linear logic because everything is in functions, but the functions are all local scope so you get to modify local scope with them, and because the functions are all named, it is easy to determine what is going on.
