The title is a direct quote from the Google Engg. Tools blog post which was on HN recently - http://google-engtools.blogspot.com/2011/12/bug-prediction-a...

True. Half the code can be anything. Half the characters in source, half the lines (Which seem more plausible since version control systems deal with line as a unit) or half of the files or even half the binaries. I'm just clarifying based on my own clarification, which half it is.

I don't think, this is any surprising at all. I believe the statistics would remain the same, for many companies.

very big difference to what the headline says, which was never going to be correct.

Much more informative that the title itself. Touching file and changing maybe one line is not a big deal, but rewriting half of the source code base every months is.
