One time I asked the teacher if the page count was non-negotiable. I had a solid 16 page paper that I thought was perfectly concise, it didn’t leave anything out. 

She told me the min is 20. I said “okay, you’re the one who’s going to have to read it. All the extra stuff I put in is the stuff I ruled out as not crucial.”

She said the min is 20 and shrugged. 

Got my grade back, B

She noted that the paper was well written but just seemed forced into a longer format. This was in a 200 person college course. I just about lost my mind. Resubmitted the 16 page version to the TA

He read it, didn’t mention the page count and gave me an A
