StenEd and long vs short theories
Hey, I'm new here but have been home-studying steno for a few years now with StenEd materials. I know there's a lot of discussion about long vs short theories and the pros and cons of each. For example, a lot of people choose Magnum over other theories because it's "short", which I totally understand. But as a StenEd learner, why is StenEd specifically seen as a long theory? While they spend a lot of time emphasizing how to write things out, to me that's just the beginning and there's actually a TON of "short" writing (phrasing, briefs, etc.) included in the theory itself. Is there something I'm missing? Why is StenEd generally considered a "long" theory?
Edit: No shade to Magnum at all! I'm not trying to pit StenEd against Magnum at all. I was just using Magnum as an example of a completely "short" theory
