Fallacy.

Sparseness could, theoretically, follow from mental discipline and
clarity.....not the other way around. In fact there's no good reason to
suppose a priori that it will work either way. Discipline and clarity
SHOULD result in taking just the right amount of stuff, however much or
little that might be......assuming you have a perfect grasp of every
contingency in advance.

Good luck with that.
