By klaussilveira:

The convention should not enforce this rule. It's often a rule of thumb in software development that can show you that a method is doing much more than it should do. Even if you do consider this a rule, this is very project-centric. Some projects prefer a certain lenght as warnings (soft-limit), another as error (hard-limit).

Also, such rules are a pain in the ass when you're working with detailed exception messages or long strings.
