It should be resisted to take 'brevity' only as "the art of making something short". Instead, It should be taken as "the art of conveying information in simplest and most readable (relative to the mass audience) form". In case of programming, there're a lot of ways to produce (effectively) same binary pattern which is what matters to the machine. You can't trust that the code you write is what machine reads, compilers could manipulate it the way they want. In other words, your code is a medium of communication of ideas between you and other programmers more than it is the same between you and the computer (https://twitter.com/getify/status/747005854243684352 ).
