Unfortunately, the nature of business software development

That book is specifically directed at business software. Again, I highly recommend it. There is no way I am going believe my perspective is more reliable than someone like Kent Beck. Following the advice of experts in the industry like Beck is what I have always done, I am not about to change that now.

the case is made to follow Fowler on this one


This is from the first page of the book:

"Many people don't realize how readable code can be and how valuable that readability is. Kent has taught me so much, I'm glad this book gives everyone the chance to learn from him." - Martin Fowler, chief scientist, ThoughtWorks

There are six people endorsing the book on that first page, one of them besides Fowler is Erich Gamma.

and refactor into more simpler methods.


The small excerpt I posted does not provide his entire discussion on the subject of Guard Clauses nor the context for the entire book nor the books discussion of refactoring into smaller methods. Perhaps before concluding his reasoning is wrong, you might want to read the book so you can know what his reasoning is before you decide to dismiss it.
