   It is all based on averages.   
      
   If person X write a tiny program and person Y write a the   
   same tiny program, then the non-blank and non-comment line   
   count may vary a lot.   
      
   But if a team of a 100 developers write an application close to   
   one million lines of code and another team of another 100 developers   
   write the same application, then  then the non-blank and   
   non-comment line count will be relative close.   
      
   Relative deviation decreases when the size increases.
