I've seen a book promoting the idea that methods should not be longer than 5 lines.
Of course now I know these ridiculous statements are from people hardly wrote any code in their lives, but if I'd read them at 18 I would have been totally misled.

You wouldn't be misled at all, only that the path you'd go down is an entirely different one to what you expected it to be.
Some people who actually wrote a decent amount of code in their lives are sharing that opinion, so your comment just sounds like an ad-hominem attack.
