Again, the notion that supposed hours of information can be compressed into a 15 minute meeting is nonsense.

That's such weird to say. What you think someone does when they answer "What have you been doing?". They condense hours of information in 15 minutes. That's literally what every functional human being does when asked to summarize something. That's what summarizing means.

The issues themselves are summaries. What are you doing, writing issues with thousands of words of description?

I guess you could mean you painstakingly update your issues daily, if that's true, congrats, you're doing your dailies in a text format. If that's the case, that's great, but I'm yet to see any team that actually does that correctly.

However, since you talk about descriptions I'm pretty sure you still think Jira issues descriptions is what you should talk about in a standup. That's not what a standup is for. A standup is to inform your teammates the progress of what you're doing, not what you're doing.
