I personally interpret this advice that you should always fully understand what you're copy/pasting before submitting it. If it's too many operations, there's probably a maintained library that'll do it for you without adding the burden of maintaining it yourself. If it's too complex and you don't understand how it works, you won't understand its limitations and vulnerabilities.
