A lot of us here are coders and we appreciate concise code. Why not, then, concise arguments? Bias wrapped in fake nuance is obvious and time-wasting. "Fucking stupid" is an apt description of monarchism in this day and age.

Concision means expressing a lot of information in few tokens.

Name-calling and other kinds of fulmination don't express much information.

Concisely: this argument is unconvincing.

But how do you know it is "fake nuance" rather than genuine explanation? By being uncharitable?
