Such is your opinion on art and that's fine. I find concise over-rated. When I was 11 years old, a NEW newspaper came out, "USA Today". I was excited! REAL NATIONAL NEWS. I got into a habit of buying it daily, reading it cover to cover. "I'm gonna read THE PAPER, 'like a MAN!'". In each paper was the phrase, "Brevity is the soul of wit." Yet as I consumed more and more papers, I hungered for depth.. and all I found was "just the facts, ma'am". Too little. Not enough. I began to dislike excess brevity and didn't find it particularly witty. So, my bias. But beyond that, _I don't have a concise philosophical treatment to give you_ - so my fail is justified and yet, I tell you a story instead. I couldn't leave a question unanswered. A writer writes to write and hopes the audience finds it acceptable.
