_Oh_ yes. Concise is good, as the ol' attention span isn't what it used to be. However, I _loathe_ dumbed down scientific/technical articles of any sort. The whole idea behind current publications seems to be that if the lowest common denominator can't grasp it, it's unacceptable. The reader isn't held responsible for anything. I don't know about everyone else, but I was raised to understand that if you don't know what something means, you go look it up. I find it irritating beyond belief to be trying to acquire actual information and half of what I'm reading seems to be definitions for imbeciles and the other half is so simplified as to be nearly incorrect.
