It's better thought of as a trade-off than a flaw, because a different type of discourse can form. There are alternative venues if you want threads of witty comments. No one is opposed to wit, but this comment didn't explain anything about the context. I needed to Google to know what the point was. It still seems more like a snarky comment than a serious argument. I could have just responded with some lazy remark saying "Want short witty comments? Twitter this way." but I'd be a jerk for that.
