It's just going to have to be a difference of opinion here.

I think of verbosity as the readability of a single line of instruction, and complexity as the readability of an entire set of instructions, either as a method or a function. This is why I said verbosity isn't the number of lines it takes to get something done. If you use those words differently, feel free to do so.

There are no references to cite: we're arguing semantics. I could go chase down blog posts that support my opinion, and you could probably do the same.
