Uh, no it's not. The obfuscated version is 25 tokens, the sensible one is 22 tokens. Sure, if you use conventional formatting, you'll end up with one more line for the normal version, but nobody says you have to do that...

Screen real estate is not measured in tokens. Inches, centimeters, may be pixels, but most definitely not tokens. But this measure it's shorter. Is it worth it? That's debatable and depends very much on the individual, but of course it's separate issue.
