Students do have different incentives in writing than SWE's. There's the habit of reaching word counts for assignments, some social signalling of how intellgent you are with essay length etc.
The data we have is just there to compare for the student base. I'd love to try it out on other cohorts - but the acquisition of such users and the product to make them happy is hard to achieve!

I have no doubt other cohorts would rate differently
it is known (on HN at least) e.g. that SWEs tend to prefer brevity, contrary to these students apparently
