Agreed. A nice compact switch statement, where each case executes a very 
small number of methods, preferably one, is much more readable if the 
methods are properly named and they are organised so their exit 
conditions can be checked by common code that follows the switch 
statement. I think this type of structure is worthwhile even if many of 
the called methods are not used anywhere else.
