Yeah, I guess it's just the easiest thing to generate and evaluate.

A more useful demonstration like making large meaningful changes to a large complicated codebase would be much harder to evaluate since you need to be familiar with the existing system to evaluate the quality of the transformation.

Would be kinda cool to instead see diffs of nontrivial patches to the Ruby on Rails codebase or something.
