"too many lines" is my way of saying "remove some material" to newbies. 
 Technically, you could `remove' some lines by putting the whole 
example on one line (with 400 chars on that line).

The real deal is clarity.  Removing extra material is the biggest way to 
clarify an example, but they're not the only way -- Mats' examples are 
obviously easier to understand than yours.

I don't care about emphasis[1].  If you can reproduce a bug in a simpler 
example, please do so.

important than others.
