> I am implying that these explanations are so long worded because they're wrong.

Are you my Intro to Operating Systems professor? Because he would take points away from answers on the exams for being more long-winded than necessary, even if the answer was correct.

Joking aside, your perspective is bizarre to me. You haven't offered any reasons to propose that all([]) should be False, but reject the given answers for it being True simply on the basis that the explanations are long-winded?

The question isn't "what should all([]) return", it's "why does all([]) return True". I think the answer is "because that's what the simplest implementation returns", not "because someone considered the mathematical implications".
