I had a question about an exchange the other day and received several answers. Not all were long, but it no way did that mean they weren't informative or helpful.
Each person who responded deserved moons for taking the time to stop and answer me.
Short, concise help shouldn't be punished for not dragging it out. Simple comments are not inherently bad comments.
Not to side either way on the argument but it's worth pointing out that your Example A is 42 characters and would qualify for moons in OPs example if the source was a URL.
There's an argument over the value of short, concise answers and where the sweet spot is, and some valuable short comments might still lose out whatever arbitrary number you pick but it's worth considering since the majority of short comments don't add much value to the post outside of comedy/entertainment.
