If you're in a field where "Things Have To Get Done", why add superfluous words like "That is stupid, it won't work because X", when "it won't work because X" is sufficient and is easier on the ears to the listener?

Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?

It's not the word count, it's the density of meaning.
