Of course, the sentiment in this reply could probably have been expressed with far less text and&#x2F;or syntax (probably in less than a tweet even).<p>IMO people prefer to communicate with some nuance and some degree of redundant expression.

I suspect there are reasons for this that might be somewhat under-researched.
