A far more reliable measure of code complexity is to look at the
compressed size of the source code (e.g., with zip), which is an
approximation of the Kolgomorov complexity of the text, roughly
equivalent to the amount of information content it has.

Not always. Using long names vs. short ones will substantially inflate zip file size, but will not affect LOC count.
