seo - What does short_ping do?

Since WP 3.6, you can do short_ping on comments as you can see .

I want to use it for my new website ZorgWijzer.nl, but I am not really sure if this is good or bad for SEO. Can someone tell me where I can find more information?

If the comment is a pingback or a trackback and short_ping is true then the comment is processed by the ping method which formats the comment differently than either the html5_comment method or the comment method both of which create a much longer more complicated format than does the very minimal ping method.

You can kind-of guess what it does by the name of the variable, really, but when in doubt there is no better source of information than the source code itself.
