I don't know about others, but it helps me understand an idea when I read a lot of words about it. I think it causes my subconscious to say "this is an important idea!" better than reading a concise, densely-packed explanation of a thing, even if only once. This is a guess; I don't know the true cause of the effect, but I know the effect is there.
