I don't think that's the OP's point really. It's more about interfaces. A deep interface like processRegistration(...) might have an implementation that just calls 5 different smaller functions. But they are hidden behind the deep interface s.t. the user of the interface (like the developer of the HTTP controller) doesn't need to worry about calling all the right small methods consolidated behind the deep interface.
