I think that's bunk.
To have 'properly designed' (without an EXIT) you simply program the loop to go through all items, probably coding a LOOP to bypass the items you are no longer interested in.
Which is easier to understand... code that EXITs as soon as it can or code that intentionally loops through the whole entity regardless but ignores lots of items?
Which is faster... a loop with an EXIT in it or a loop that inspects all items regardless?
