Writers simplify and trim the dialogues in scripts so that in movies and television programs the actors speak Concise English. As far as I know, no dialogue has been intentionally written to be wordy.

A Concise Four-Point Answer is an answer or response that is not only correct, but also breathtakingly awe-inspiring that it is impossible to deny anything but full-marks to.

Concisionism advocates articulating one's feelings, and thinking, analyzing, speaking, and/or writing concisely. Its adherents believe concision is so powerful that by applying it—especially at work—a nation's Gross Domestic Product will rise because workers and other professionals will communicate faster and more effectively, thereby boosting production. Another benefit of articulating things concisely is that trimming the fat from communication leaves people more time to live and that improves the quality of life and increases the amount of pleasure people can enjoy.
The members of think tanks wonder if communicating concisely would make consumers realize that they can live concisely and consume concisely, not needing to purchase unnecessary (really unneeded) products or services; be husky, plump, or obese; and stop over-consuming and also consume less.

Concision is a writing principle of eliminating redundancy. For example, a sentence of "It is a fact that most arguments must try to convince readers, that is the audience, that the arguments are true." maybe expressed more concisely as "Most arguments must demonstrate their truth to readers."
His arguments were concise, simple, and clear. His style is elevated and concise, but somewhat difficult. The conciseness of the students was not good
