I'm reminded of a quote by Albert Einstein: "Things should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler." That translates in this case to: "Editing is fine, but don't edit out what's necessary."

Now hurry up and finish it, willya?
I'm more in mind of a Karl Popper quotation:
"It is impossible to speak in such a way that you cannot be misunderstood."
