Maybe, but they don't look cut short to me, given how far back from the tip they've shrunk. If they were just cut short I think the quick would still probably be longer/end closer to the fingertips.

As someone who bit her nails constantly since childhood up until a few years ago, biting constantly at any bit of white that shows and not letting your nails ever get long enough to warrant being clipped is what causes the quick part of the nail to retreat back farther and father from the fingertips. This takes time to reverse (several months at least) when you stop biting them.

I know from interviews that Elijah Wood is/was a terrible nail biter.

But it is still very possible to have cut nails that short. Mine are longer than that but not a lot, and I have never bitten my nails in my life. But I relate to everything you said about the quick retreating some. I always trim them any "white" showing, and carry a nail clipper on my keys in case I get a hangnail or just feel like a nail is too long. This clipper makes me a savior to anyone I'm out with who breaks their long nails, ha ha.

That makes sense - if you cut whenever any white shows I guess it's effect on your nails is not much different from biting (though a lot neater and more hygienic obviously), but everyone I know who cuts their nails does it periodically so their nails grow long, then they cut then short, then they don't cut them for a while until they notice them getting long again, etc.
