Most likely, but not 100%:

        - some are tests
        - there could be a pragma that is used to discover a method
        - it could be test code and removing the method could lead to a test 
failing
        - it could be called reflectively
        - it could be an API that we want to keep and fix (not very likely)


So yes, it is a good way to find methods to remove, but it can not be done 
automatically
