An implication to that an essay, for example, does not have to be 20 pages long if it's full of bullshit. Rather a short high-quality essay than a useless high-quantity essay.
Remember class, Quality over quantity on this paper. There's no need to write a long paper if it's filled with pointless sentences.
This phrase is often miss used. Yes, it’s better to have quality work rather than a large quantity of something with less value. BUT, if there is a big quantity of work with a large amount of quality, it is SOOO much better

Student: I wrote an essay 1 sentence long. It has really deep and abstract meaning, and only philosophers can grasp the true meaning.
Teacher: lmao it's quantity over quality. Who taught you to write like that? smh. Jason got 100% on this essay assignment because he wrote 10 page long essay. I didn't bother reading it because it completely meant he spent really much of time on it. You are getting 5% on it.
