You can quite clearly see, though, how many arguments GitHub's code highlighter thinks a Java method should have.

The Java methods with up to 70 arguments are highlighted. This code defines methods with up to 250 arguments. I wonder why the Apache Groovy people didn't choose a number like 256, which is more compatible with other magic numbers in the JVM.

An auspicious and possibly immature number

70?
