guslMy thesis is currently at about 35 pages.
I just realized that, despite this, I've written more Lisp code (~90k) than LaTeX code (~80k). Sure, it tooks about 8 times as long, but still. When I tell people that I write my philosophy in Lisp, I mean it as a joke... really.

When is more code better?
These questions are not intended as pot shots and they are offered more for thinking than answering.

While it seems like an unsolvable problem, you might be able to define a computable, more cognitive variation of Kolmogorov Complexity, taking into account proper programming style.
