Developer Open Exam / Lines of Code as code metric

$

Hi everyone,

As I participated to a PSD training last week, with awesome people (thanks so much guys, hope you read this post :)), I took the Developer Open Exam a few times again.

Without spoiling everything, here is one question that is confusing:
**Which of the following are NOT metrics of code quality? (choose all that apply)**

Amongst the possible answers, there is **Lines of Code**, which appears to be a correct one according to the results check, but with no related given feedback.

However I consider that **Lines of Code** (source code regardless comments and blanks), especially for a specific targeted class is one of the many metrics to evaluate code quality. As an isolated indicator, it only provides the developer with a good/bad smell. The training and its manual confirms it as well, being listed with four others, so do many recommanded books in the PSD subject areas section.

So fellow developers, future candidates and Scrum.org trainers, what do you think about it? Is this a mistake in the exam itself? Am I overthinking this question? Should it be set in a more specific context?

Cheers,
