alt Hacker NewsBoy wait till you find out where "opus" comes from.. Do you realize how many words from Latin you used in that comment?
When was the last time you heard anybody say "opus" or "sonnet" before this?
Also it implies that "haikus" are inherently inferior to longer texts which may be kinda frown-inducing..

TIL everyone knows Terra means the planet earth (not a prefix for ground) and everyone knows Astra means a star that isn’t the sun

It's not supposed to be about superior and inferior, it's supposed to be about bigger and smaller.
Fable kind of screwed that up, though.
haiku (the model family) was not inherently inferior to its larger, more expensive siblings. Sometimes you prefer a cheap, fast model, just like how sometimes you prefer a shorter poem.
