Here's something to blow your mind: Most Americans are not literate. Yes, I'm serious and I say that as a fellow American. We are not literate. So use as few words as possible and a date. Honestly we could probably do without the words, just the date.

Is minified code easier to read? No. It’s the same with regular language; shorter sentences are not always more comprehensible.

  The likelihood an American will read something decreases with each word written. Seriously: We hate reading. The fewer words the better.

    Maybe, but if increased concision also decreases comprehension, there is a balance to be struck, not just a value to optimize.
