Why the size of a post matters

I've done it again. I wrote an article, but apparently I used too few words. Question to the moderators and reviewers, since when quantity trumpets quality? Things that used to take us hundreds of lines of code, became one-liners, which do not require elaborate explanation or walk-through. So why are the reviewers stuck in the mindset that more words is better? Darek

What goes on in that one line though? Just because something can be reduced to one line doesn't mean that we don't want to know why you are using that one line? What decisions you took in deciding that one line fits the problem domain? What are the edge cases or compromises that we have to consider? That's what we want to know, and you can't cover that type of thing in a few lines in an article. It's not just the how, it's the what and why as well.

It doesn't, but sometimes a lack of quantity means there is very little quality. Don't forget that not everyone who reads the article is at the same knowledge level. Some people will be absolute beginners and will need all those extra words just to understand what you are trying to teach them. Those who have a better background will be able to skim read to the parts that they need.
