    I think we’re saying a similar thing, but I understand your point better.

    I have read plenty of research essays where you can feel the emotion, you can surmise the position and most of all passion of the author.

    Exactly! That’s what I mean. There’s so many subjects I expected to be incredibly dry, but the writing reminded me it was written by a person who obviously cares about other people reading the text. One can communicate any subject without giving up their soul.

    (I am always surprised, but I find this in programming books often, haha.)

    But that’s what I meant by cardboard as well, I think we might be in agreement:

    We expect to see a lot more writing that comes across like “This is what writing should look like, right?”

    Writing that understands words, and “averages” the most likely way to convey information or fill a requirement, but doesn’t know how to wield language as an art to share ideas with another person.
