Agreed, I stopped reading at that point. You can't take yourself seriously to create a report and use LOC as your measure.

I feel like we humans try to separate things and keep things short. We do this not because we think it's pretty, we do it so our human brains can still reason about a big system. As a result LOC is a bad measure as being concise then hurts your productivity????

We're careful not to draw any conclusions from LoC. The fact is LoCs are higher, which by itself is interesting. This could be a good or bad thing depending on code quality, which itself varied wildly person-to-person and agent-to-agent.
When the heading above it says "Developer output increased by x" I think you're very much drawing conclusions
Can you expand on why it is interesting?
Because it's different. Change is important to track
