I don't think we read code the same way we read normal text. If you have this in your code:

    qry.setParameter("a", a);
    qry.setParameter("b", b);
    qry.setParameter("foo", foo);
    qry.setParameter("bar", bar);

After the first "qry.setParameter" you're no longer reading anything but the parameters and your eyes are moving vertically.

Or if you have something like this:

    Query qry = getEntityManager().createNamedQuery("User.findUserBySomething", Long.class);

You're only reading the "User.findUserBySomething". The rest of it is mainly fluff.
