Concision can also hurt specificity. You can express a concept very concisely when you elevate it to very abstract, general terms. Specific, concrete examples often take quite a bit longer to express. This came up a lot when I was tutoring CS: it was easy to give a precise but abstract textbook definition of something, but that’s not useful at all to a beginner—much better to say “you can use pointers to make a linked list and here’s how” than “pointers are referential types used to implement non-contiguous data structures and to reduce copying”.
