There's a fine line between good writing and verbose writing.

I'm taking a writing class right now, and they really stress that real-world examples explain your argument better and make the writing more interesting, and I think that's actually true.

That said, giving too many examples makes it too long to be worth people's time and/or bores them with too many examples that are too similar.
