I don't agree with equating brevity and quality.

There's a definite trend in marketing/business communication to cut everything down to the bare bones and call that quality. At best though, this is an over-simplification. Not every piece of writing has the same purpose, and the current fashion for brevity aims at clarity but often hits stilted instead.

Yes, I've addressed this point here:

In short, brevity is a surprisingly excellent heuristic for writing quality. It can provide a quick and objective metric, which is handy for an online game meant to provide an engaging learning experience. Note that brevity on Brevity 500 is relative to a human-derived metric, which makes the conciseness you're aiming for more meaningful.

But yes -- shorter is not always better, certainly, which is why paid users are encouraged to reach out for human feedback.

That is an excellent response, thank you.
