> Subject yourself to a classroom of kids that you must teach to write, and throw out minimums.

Strawman argument; the correct thing to do is not to throw out minimum word count and leave it at that, rather to emphasize the role of brevity and concision while still being sufficiently thorough.

It's widely understood that LOC is a poor measure for many coding purposes, so it shouldn't be controversial that word count is an equally flawed measure for prose.

This ENTIRE argument is about whether or not minimum word count is a good idea, perhaps improve your reading comprehension before pretending to know logical fallacies

Almost your entire post history is angry and confrontational, just like here, and I was also talking about whether or not word counts are a good idea, obviously; right back at you about reading comprehension.
