My heart goes out to this guy.

«I have spent a serious amount of time trying to decipher what that person did. What in the world were they thinking? Who thought that 13 nested if statements were a good idea? Who decided that five interlocking boolean conditions should go into the fourth nesting of those statements? Hadn’t they heard of an explaining variable? What the heck does the literal value 4 mean here? 9280 lines is a bit much for a single procedure, don’t you think?»
