Yes, that makes slightly more sense but I think what this is really about is the emotional impact of the words. Saying "he felt sad" doesn't really affect the reader emotionally but if you put it like "he walked though the streets, looking in front of him and not really seeing; the rain was pouring down but he didn't open the umbrella he held in his hands and blah-blah-blah" it's more emotionally engaging. On the other hand lots of times it's MUCH more descriptive to use shorter lines. Like “Lisa hated Tom.” (to quote the article) sometimes says it all and there's no need to go into all those details that will only draw the attention away from the plot and/or the character. Sometimes less is more.
So, yes, bb, you write as you write. The thing that really matters is not how many words you use but whether or not these words tell the story and evoke an emotional response. And yours do! :D
