While I think the example is too fake as to be too useful, let's take it. While we could read the code and say that one appears to achieve the job we want and the other doesn't; you don't know if the one that apparently does the job actually does the job until you put it into real-world use. You can't know it'll run with acceptable speed, edge-cases, etc. until you actually run the code in production! If that code never goes into production with real customer use-cases, everything we say about its quality (on any metric) is 100% theoretical! We can try to replicate that environment, and we should, but until it's actually used, we can't truly know. |
