Seeing how 20 lines of code with each line of code being up to 25 commands is esentially 500 commands, couldnt we just write a program that is 500 lines of code with each line of code being only 1 command?

Its basically the same thing and is MUCH easier to read.

I dont fully understand compressing the code down into 20 lines... unless the "challenge" is actually just the reading and understanding of the code by others.

I think the 20-line challenge is more of a challenge for me because instead of running my code through a compressor, I write my code compressed, using thousands of ':'s.

Oh? I was thinking that would also be a good 20 line challenge program is something to take all of your code and compress it down to 25 statement lines of code. But there already is one? Have a link?

I believe we had a challenge to take pre-existing 20-liners and reformat them into something a bit more readable. Might want to check through the Challenge thread stickied near the top of the DBP board.
