It's worth keeping in mind that most production k code tends to be short, like even just a few dozen lines. It's not an application programming language and you are typically not modelling business rules. Most of the code is math-adjacent, and there may not even be any clear descriptive name for the variables involved.
The point is basically to put more code on the screen, so that you can think about what the code itself does, and basically maximize expressivity.
I do personally think Arthur is taking it a bit far, and it's turned into code colf for the sake of it, but at the same time, I don't think the idea is entirely without merit, at least in some circumstances.
