Giving helpful criticism is difficult, sometimes I think it has to do more about tone and the relationship between the people involved. Having a relationship of respect, knowing not to take criticisms of your work personally, and being able to make mistakes without being made to feel humiliated are all important, IMO. If you have all that, "Huh... why didn't you just turn this into a function?" might be an acceptable comment (personally I'd probably phrase it "This could probably be a function.")
