I don't think this is quite fair, explanatory examples can be very helpful at cementing the point or persuading the doubtful.

What does shit me is the amount of 300+ page books that have at least 50-100 pages of unnecessary fluff. Giving 1 story or example to illustrate your point is one thing, but stacking 4-5 dull dull DULL stories is just a chore to get through.

I wasn't saying that 1 page was the preferred outcome, but I think publishers push authors to a quota of words.

Its interesting how online media might get us away from this. For example, youtube videos can be 30 seconds or 10 minutes, or 8 minutes and 37 seconds.
