If that's your argument, then we can drop the verb "to be", most 
articles, most verb conjugations, and nearly all adjectives and adverbs. 
  For that matter, the vast majority of posts here can be dropped as 
they don't convey any new factual knowledge at all.

Terseness isn't the only goal of language.
