> it is the exact kind of architectural choice you're saying one should decide on.

While I can't speak to what the OP had in mind, architectural concerns are definitely not inside a function. Even connecting individual functions/procedures barely registers at the smallest, most granular scale of architecture.

Of course, our programming languages for the most part don't let us express architectural concerns...so here we are.

Yes, this is what I was talking about. Debating which function should include an "if" condition seems rather immaterial to me.
