Basically readability... Yes, in this case it will be a stretch to assume we'll ever
have anything bigger than 2 (so the scalability argument is not so applicable) so I'm
ok if you don't pass the size. It's just I really dislike (as a practice) to have
raw/magic numbers in the code. In here, it won't be that bad as by the context, one
can easily understand the meaning of 2. Nevertheless, I would, still, at the very
least consider to either use a #define or a better name for the iterator (anything
more meaningful than 'i' so that it looks more understandable than 'i < 2')
