Yes, I did not want to force patch readers to review three extra lines just to spot a non-existent difference caused by an unnecessary reflow. Unlike SubmittingPatches, the target audience for MyFirstContribution is less familiar with our source files than experienced contributors are, so they will not be reading this in its source form anyway. Therefore, I thought leaving an unusually short line there was a reasonable trade-off until the entire paragraph needs to be rewritten. However, when the next person who wants to modify this source file reads it, it will indeed be distracting to them. So, perhaps I should reflow the remainder of the paragraph. Thanks.
