I agree that we need nuanced ideas and detailed explanations. I'm not yet convinced that longer sentences help with that.




When expressing nuanced ideas, a series of short sentences is harder to follow. Not always but often. The short sentences are less connected. The connection between those sentences comes across flat. Nuanced ideas apply different weight to different concepts.

Generally, when expressing nuanced ideas, a series of short sentences doesn't convey weighting of concepts as fluidly as a longer sentence which can paint a richer and more detailed picture with selective emphasis.
