In fact, I'm sure that you're lying too: every time you Ctrl+Z in between commits, you're removing parts of your audit log. Choosing when to commit is telling a story.
(Unless Fossil/whatever system you're using stores every character you ever type - I'm not familiar with it.)
Edit: To use an example from the article:
> Yet, sometimes we come upon a piece of code that we simply cannot understand. If you have never asked yourself, “What was this code’s developer thinking?” you haven’t been developing software for very long.
With my commit, I'm telling other developers/my future self what I was thinking, rather than having them try to figure that out by themselves from my code. The assumption there is that I'm better at explaining my thinking than my code is.
