You disagree: go back.

A true zealot.

Programming is about writing down ideas in a *clear* and *consistent way*, 
so that not only the original author is able to read and understand it 
after 3 months, but also peers.

According to your silly rule the shortest book on a subject would be the 
best. Now why is that false?

Why are Perl golf scripts so hard to understand?
