Does anyone else judge the difficulty of a problem by how many tabs you close once you've solved it?

Y'know, like Sherlock Holmes' "Three pipe problem" - "This was a six tab problem" or the like.

@CobaltVelvet that’s sometimes how I judge the lack of quality of documentation. Emacs has dozens of really obtuse functions that are useful, but you need three different sources of documentation and examples before it’s clear what’s going on, and it’s usually just one really well written explanation on stackexchange that does it.
