You're arbitrarily assigning order to importance. If "In-depth story" were the first item on that list, would you then make that the deciding factor? I'm under the impression that you would still turn to post length for whatever reason, be it that it is quantifiable, or perhaps that you equate length to effort, or perhaps another reason entirely. However, at the end of the day, there are more descriptors than post length for a reason.
