>Good idea. Newspapers average 17 words per sentence, so 12 words would be very concise, right?
Then comparing two perspectives within 12 words could not only concisely make a point, it could acknowledge other perspectives and explain the main point as purely the writer's perspective, right?
Such a sentence could be so powerful it might prompt thousands of words to be written that expound on its meaning and its propriety. That is my idea of effective writing.
Sometimes long passages juxtaposed against short statements are also effective.
