I believe there is a difference between writing concise, and writing a summary. The former attempts to cover all important details in the fastest way possible, the latter attempts to convey the general meaning of a body of text, enough so you understand the main points.
If you look at Graham’s essays, you wouldn’t call them summaries. But you would think them concise.
