I think there is more skill in picking the correct one word that says more than using 5 words that match the one word in stating what is being said
Being verbose vs being succinct
I feel the latter is not only more efficient, but more impactful
Just my opinion though

It’s not about verbosity vs succinctness. It’s about the scope of the writing. A narrative where a lot happens will necessitate more lines to be written well. Other styles of writing will require less.
That said, I would strongly prefer to see a variety of styles of writing here and not have everyone writing huge story based pieces every week.

zygote was the GOAT at bringing that variety. Among other things, I saw him write:
- an argumentative essay
- an annual performance report
- a sales pitch
- a serial killer’s coded letter
- a campaign speech
- a nature documentary voice over
- a letter addressed to his opponent
ZYGOTE RETURN TO US KING
