Well, it depends upon the situation. Let's say you were someone who was involved in a very similar or almost exactly the same situation, you would feel as though you had a lot to say. It could be the case where the explanation really required a step-by-step outlining of what to do in that situation.
You see, last evening, I stumbled upon such a question in the Family category - an almost perfect match to what my son went through at the same age. The questioner was asking about her son and how to get him from stopping forgetting homework and books at school. So, as a teacher and a parent, it behooved me to expound at length upon the answer. It required an explanation of how to use a homework book, how to enlist the help of the teacher, and how to give positive reinforcement to the child.
Alternatively, in the Engagements and Weddings category this week, a woman asked for the long versions of how-you-met stories, and of course because my situation was cool and unusual, I was able to expound at length. I think it was nice of her to ask, because it is interesting learning in what kinds of situations different people have met their spouses.
So, in closing, let me say that I hope I have answered your question - there are times where three words will do, at others, a veritable essay is required to properly expand upon a situation. See? Four paragraphs didn't kill you!
