That's not a good metric to maximize... There is probably some broad optimum preferred by maybe 80% of readers, and too dense or too watery writing is definitely inferior. There ought to be some relevant research out there.
I agree, I think a good writer has a sense when a particular part of his argument is tricky or more difficult to grasp so he may add additional explanations or examples even though he has already made the point.
