I got a notice saying "We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed."

so, is the answer judged only by the number of words? is a long trash more valuable than one keyword?

The answer to this question only needs a line of words for the meaning of one single character. That's all, even in dictionary it is in this way
