Concise is good

In school, we were taught to write long — because kids need to learn how to explain things clearly, even to someone who doesn’t care about the topic.

But it seems some people never outgrew this. They think stuffing their opinions into multiple paragraphs — with headers, footnotes, and “just in case” context — makes their ideas seem smarter or more accessible.

Remember that I (and most other people on the net) have a short attention span, and if I am greeted by a long wall of text I'll probably click off. Being able to express meaningful ideas concisely is a quality of its own :)
