Because.
- javajosh 12y agoNormally this kind of comment gets downvoted, and rightly so. But in this context, it's perfect. Well done.
- psykovsky 12y agoI wouldn't mind the downvotes at all. But I really thought it was the only acceptable answer for the why. :)
- threatofrain 12y agoThe reason why "Laconian wit" is normally frowned upon is because it's actually almost disruptively lazy. In the event that almost everyone agrees with you, then that's okay. But should anyone disagree with you, now they're going to have to do the heavy lifting for YOUR side. That disrupts the willingness someone has to even converse with you, and if someone retorts with similarly Laconian wit, you can see the conversation breaks down really fast, because nobody is willing to put in the extra effort to flesh out someone else's opinion when there's no reciprocity or show of effort.
