More verbose code takes up more space in the context. It's harder for humans to review, but also harder for future AIs to edit. Unless you manage to keep the AI to firm module boundaries & have it replace modules wholesale it's not really equivalent to how assembly gets replaced wholesale when a compilation unit changes. Compilers aren't editing the `.o` files when you rebuild, they throw the old ones out & replace them. But when you prompt an AI it is reading & editing the source files, so excess verbosity in the source files is detrimental.
