In Windows, system inserts a null line after ruby's output,
so the first line goes out of screen.
Therefore, the rule doesn't make sense :)
Just curious.

I never heard of that 24 rule before, and it is certainly something I
don't see often that I am aware of. For example

    fxn@halmos:~ ��� ack --help | wc -l
     124

(though a particular counterexample doesn't do much to support the
statement :D).

What was the rationale? Is it convenient in some platform for some reason?

Why not adding an option for showing all options, like nvidia-settings and other commands do?

"-X:�� show all options"
