Sure. It’s just that there’s also so much research that has found that cyclomatic complexity is theoretically ill-founded, and that it tends to underperform other ways of measuring complexity. Most notably, just counting lines of code. (Not per function, in total.)

I’ve personally had better success thinking of it as more of a measure of readability than of quality.
