If I sense lack of clarity and focus in your question, I will tend to provide extra context with my answer just to make sure you are not about to make a mistake.

If I sense you come with a very pointed, clear, relevant question or request, and I have a history of clear communication with you, I can trust a short/tight answer is enough.

But I agree with you on one thing, all things being equal, people who think and speak more clearly tend to also write (code, documentation, emails) clearly.
