Consider "High signal per word ratio" rather than "short"
In my experience, "high signal per word ratio" is a more accurate intuition in practice rather than "short". Focusing on "short" alone can lead to unnecessary dilemmas *
I'm curious what the author thinks of the above.
* e.g. when you try to describe concepts that is complex enough to require many words.
I believe "short" is meant to combine with "intuitive" and "descriptive", not to be considered as a standalone principle. And as a non-native English speaker, "High signal per word ratio" is not easy to understand at all to me. Just to add that.
