Verbosity is bad when it inflicts ambiguity. In this case I think we 
need need to be more verbose so we can be very specific about what we 
are showing. Unfortunately often I see very ambiguous settings that do 
not describe very well what they do. This is probably because people who 
are writing code are not usually technical writers or documenters. Those 
people would be better suited to picking names and config option titles.

We need to be unambiguous, and do it by being terse.
