> On the contrary, high verbosity means less information per token, making it easier in my opinion to read

See I think this is actually backwards thinking. The more boilerplate you have to sift through, the more you're trying to retain before getting to what the program is actually doing.

> A good example is the anonymous class. They are portly and wasteful of vertical space, often costing 5 lines when one would due. But, the amount thinking per line is greatly reduced

Same applies for this statement. You're trying to absorb so much more code before knowing what is actually happening.
