Refactoring to Make Code More Human Readable, a Little Example

I code a little tool in .Net today and need to initiate something different based on whether the second argument is given or not. The program would go something like (to protect the innocent, I'll use very generic name here) :

myProgram arg0

or

myProgram arg0 arg 1

First, doing the simplest things first, the arguments handling goes something like

   1:
   2:if (args.Length > 1)
   3:{
   4:    //initiate something the standard way   
   5:}
   6:else
   7:{
   8:    //initiate diffrently 
   9:}
  10:

Its works ok but the conditional above left something to be desire, so I refactor it by extracting checking argument length into function :

   1:
   2:if(!supportFileIsGiven(ref args))
   3:{
   4: //initiate something the standard way   
   5:}
   6:else
   7:{
   8: //initiate things differently
   9:}
  10:

Suddenly the code become a more readable english. It tells more story and deliver meaning. Given a choice, I'll choose code with the style of the second one to work on anytime of day.
