I agree with you, but I'm currently dealing with a Python codebase that is very verbose and is written in classes with 5 - 6 levels of inheritance - it's a nightmare. This type of code organization couldn't be considered "explicit", could it?
"Explicit" isn't necessarily "verbose", just clearer. Sometimes this means bubbling more details to the top in the same amount of code, like taking surprising side effects out of a complex function and calling them more directly.
