Takes me back to highscool assignments where a few very keen people would submit like 100 page projects and then ask how long mine was and I’d say 13 pages. They’d look all smug and make comments about how I wouldn’t get a good mark but guess what: I covered all the points in the marking scheme with sufficent detail, while they rambled off topic and repeated themselves. Nobody wants to read in ten pages something that can be adequetely described in one.
Fun story time: I did that in high school. My best friend at the time (and still) and I were in several of the same classes and would do homework together. We’d work out the answers, then write down the “same” ones. But he would always embellish, be much wordier. He got so pissed when I consistently got better grades by writing the same answers but more concisely
