Great question and very interesting too. Like the other answers, it's harder to say a lot in a few words.

All the same, it's impossible to say absolutely nothing in many words. This is because except all the words have the same meaning (and therefore can't be classified as many words), the speaker will not be saying absolutely nothing but nonsense. A master once told me that in every nonsense there is sense just like the word:

(Non)sense

Although it's wordplay, he actually meant it and it's obviously true. enlightened

I think both are very hard ! Being able to say almost nothing during hours is an art politicians master
