Unless the blank lines were proportionally evenly distributed, in which case the effect would simply be cancelled out, but even so... a character changed in a long line of code counts the same as the whole line changing, but it's enough to give a feel for what's going on, as long as it's understood that these types of stats serve to guide towards reality rather than define it.
