So if it's not under five lines, !(length < 5), then it breaks the limit.

   => (length >= 5) then it breaks the limit.

So if it's not over four lines, !(length > 4), then it doesn't break the limit.

   => (length <= 4) then it doesn't break the limit.

Fencepost cavil resolved. Thanks for the praise!
