Well when not short turning, a longer line would be more prone to delay propagation and it can make run-cutting - assigning an operator to the vehicle, a bit harder/ more inflexible.

I'm not sure that short turning is something we'd want to do to our already mis-aptly named BRT system. Not that it can't be done for supposed high-quality services, but we've posed our version of BRT with enough challenges as far as distinguishing it from a regular bus route - and operating it as such.
