Concision bias refers to the tendency to favor brief and concise information over more detailed or complex explanations. It occurs when individuals and communicators prioritize brevity and simplicity at the expense of accuracy or comprehensiveness. Concision bias can lead to oversimplification, generalization, or the omission of important information, potentially resulting in misunderstandings or incomplete insights. It often arises from the desire to convey information quickly or to cater to limited attention spans, but it can detract from thorough understanding and analysis.
