Of course. I 'disclaimered' this in :) I've heard people saying that
your 'code' should fit on an A4 page when printed out. Whether they're
referring to a subroutine, a class or just any code, I don't really
know. I think it's still the same principle - being able to read the
code.

I don't think this is isolated to PHP programmers, but any novice
programmers.
