It's just, if that's your game, stick to the game, don't cheat by sprawling across 14 of those. It fails as an instance of the Tweet artform because cumulatively it's too long, and it fails as a longer-form piece because it's all broken up.
If I strung together 1780 Vines to make Fellowship of the Ring (and yes, nerdily, the math works out there), what have I proven? My powers of conciseness and economy? My respect for rules and limits? My ability to choose the right tool for the job?
