The code that I suggest is too verbose. It involves too much typing.

This seems to be the whole premise and it's obvious that one does not follow from the other.

Overly verbose code is code that can be expressed more minimally for some benefit. I can't think why anyone would argue that one of those benefits is less typing.

The author can solve this easily though: ask them why verbosity is an issue. Then they will know the answer and won't have to presume something as tenuous as "amount of time spent typing".
