Doesn't equating 'lines of code' to productivity encourage sloppy programming and excessively large programs, just to up the lines of code??

We used to have a programmer who was enamored with a huge Xerox printer. But the only way to justify the printer was to print X thousand pages a month. So he created large reports and distributed them to people who didn't need or want them, just to keep the printer busy.

Same idea.
