Yes, and from now on they'll hire fortune cookie writers. Can you
imagine?
But seriously -- quality isn't one-to-one measured by word or page
count, either large or small. I applaud the concept of writing
concisely, and raising the issue of well-written guidance and reference,
but I wouldn't gauge someone's job review on word count.
