Listen I don't disagree that spaghetti code is bad, I just understand
the reasoning that this would downgrade a plugin for it's usage.

What you are saying is that you would consider to downgrade a safety
test of a car because the car is dirty, and well that means it's likely
to have bad welding but if it's all shiny it's fine.

You can't say code is bad without giving reasons why. How can you
expect a developer to improve his grade if you don't tell him what's
wrong.
