The lead serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important aspects. "

Emphasis on, "A summary of its most important aspects", it should definitely have all of the important stuff in the lead, so it shouldn't be too short, however, it shouldn't have anymore than that.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here, that word for word describes my lead-in on Vivec (God). Wikipedia intros as you said, summarize the most important parts of the page; this will be long if there is alot to summarize.

If you don't believe me look at the lead to this wikipedia page World War II.
