I read a research article long ago that said that most of the complexity measures investigated at the time were highly correlated with loc.
For example, it's nice to measure McCabe cyclomatic complexity, and it generally rings true, but if you can't be bothered - just look at LOC and you'll get pretty close
Yes, in the same way that large forces are highly correlated with bigger things. You don't have to know anything about design or engineering to know that an 18-wheeler will deal with larger forces than a sub-compact car. Similarly, a whole lotta software is gonna be more complex.
