Please try to read the arguments presented to you. You ask for
supporting argumentation, but when presented to you, you simply
ignore it.

Nothing in that post proves his claim. The closest you come is
saying that shorter code is simpler.

So, you agree that decoupling SQL statements from the rest of the
applications causes more bloated code?

As discussed elsewhere in the
thread, even the hard of learning Mr. Jacobs admits that lines of code
is not a sufficient measure.

More lines of code takes longer time to write. More lines of code
makes the code harder to read. There are other factors too, but that
doesn't change the fact that LOC are important.

The techniques used to decouple
components and avoid big balls of mud offer significant benefits,
particularly in addressing non-functional requirements.

Can you prove this claim?

The benefits of decoupling SQL has to be considered unknown until
someone can prove them. But the disadvantages (more bloated code) are
easy to prove and has to be accepted as facts.
