I’m not sure I agree with the idea that a wordy description means that the concept is complicated or difficult to grasp. I think that if you tried to explain the benefits of running a short pass towards the sidelines versus a run or pass to the middle in the 2 minute drill, it’d be a heck of a lot wordier. Yet all the coaches and fans seem to grasp that without too much difficulty.

I’m saying it’s hard to convey, not to grasp. A wordy description pretty much by definition means it’s harder to convey.

For your counterexample: “Going out of bounds stops the clock, so when time is short run plays to the sidelines.” Much less wordy than explaining the 2:00 timeout deal.
