It's about having something to say, not just being of few words. More apropos here, concision can be a powerful dramatic device, but I don't feel that there's any wit in the post you're commenting on above. If you want a clickbait/digest-in-an-instant headline, why not "IOTA is vulnerable to replay attacks but has no intention of fixing the flaw"?
