Whilst the sentiment is nice, I have to say that it's something to be careful with. V4 of that post was 'Fewer words create a more powerful message.' But that's only made powerful in relation to seeing all longer edits he typed before it. If it had just been V4 in the post then it would've seemed a bit vapid.

They say that 'knowledge without application is meaningless', but so is knowledge without understanding. Getting a message across in a succinct manner is important, but not at the expense of essential information.

There is a balance I think but you have a good point. There are 2 sides to this and I have seen situations where the old saying "If you are explaining, you are losing" is very true.

But if you are telling an engaging story, you are winning!
