If a class is sufficiently complex, comprehension can be impeded if the
methods are "far" from the definitions of the data they act on. Such a
class would be "unreasonably-sized."

The distinction is based on how many logical "pieces" of the struct you can
comfortably maintain in your short-term memory.
