Totally agree, you have a nice point there. I'll have to defend myself anyway :)
I took one of the most cryptic functions in some of the code I'm working on (my bad, reducers are not my thing so they're dark magic for me…). Making code verbose DOES help understanding what you meant to do, but take in consideration not everyone has the same level of understanding as one does, and also, even though we supposedly share the same language, not everyone understands the same words the same as us, eg. when you work with people from other countries.
And finally, the many flavors of Intellisense in every IDE do their thing when using a nicely documented function, I think this is one of the most powerful reasons to document your code.

Perfect scenario: Having both verbose and well documented code and everyone should be happy :)

Thanks for reading, and stay safe.
