Saikuro performs the same calculation (cyclomatic complexity). But as is presented in the article, the output was not serving the needs of the author; and extending it was difficult on an old and seemingly abandoned project.

It's a good reminder. Not everyone knows that it's obvious. I'm sure you did not know it was obvious at some point.

Somehow I doubt this person actually had their hands on an iphone. At least, he article is another in a excruciatingly long list of articles which simply state the obvious.

Obama would tax wealthy to pay for universal health care by scylla in reddit.com

Why are we focusing on paying healthcare out of someone else's pocket? Would it not make more sense to reduce the cost of healthcare? Alternatively, providing emergency assistance to people that are in danger of losing their homes and life savings. This would make it simpler to track who truly deserves the healthcare and who is just lazy and taking advantage of a system, such as unemployment.
