A few (concise) notes:
Being concise or verbose is a false dilemma. You can structure your post so that it can be both. (I posted about it here years ago.)
You assume that if "terseness makes posts more readable" to you, then it applies equally to everyone. It doesn't.
Crossing an inferential gap is harder in a short post, unless you are an amazing writer.
If you scan through the site carefully, there are plenty of quality short posts here.
An extra note:
In the quote, the qualification is unnecessary. Ceteris paribus, it's usually harder in a short post, regardless of general writing skill.
