I think I understand what the author is trying to get at, and if I’m right then I agree with them, but this seems purposefully written in a style that inhibits understanding by the exact group it purports to be addressing.

- bluGill 1y agoIt is fine if you are writing to a particular audience that will understand you. However even then essays written like this come off as only someone trained like me can figure out what this means and thus I must be great - even though a different writing style would be more accessible to not only the "layperson" but also their peers who are trained in that subject. As such I call this bad writing.
