Do you have any data that points to this? It's not clear that there is a zero-sum game here, or that conciseness and inclusiveness are diametrically opposite goals with metrics that completely cancel each other out.

What do you want me to give you? >It's not clear that there is a zero-sum game here Not necessarily exactly zero-sum, but it's very clear to me - adding a new priority means less focus on the older priorities. Here is a very clear example of all three being sacrificed for inclusiveness: https://twitter.com/justintrudeau/status/1445200620340842496 https://twitter.com/justintrudeau/status/1445200620340842496

And in the inverse, reading comprehension skills and performance are tested in law school entrance exams (just as a personal example).
