No one is going to contest that a three word reply is short and that a "full comment" is long, in the same way that no one's going to contest that a 1001 word Yuletide fic is short and a 50k epic is long, but most things in-between are open to interpretation, and just because you say there is "no subjectivity" doesn't make it true.
So are you agreeing with them that long and short aren't hard to tell apart but the middle ground is? Because that's what it sounds like so I'm not sure what you're arguing.
