Your last statement is exactly my point. Short is indeed easy to fix, read and edit. The real problem is HOW the short code is written, doesn't mean what I said is false.

I made the reply to your post because many new coders get it in their head that "shorter code is better" when they need to, instead, be thinking about how to write coded that is efficient and easy to read/edit.

the best example is upward!
