When we read a text, the first thing we notice is the quality of the prose. We assign a lot of value to it, and rightfully so.
Yet if we think about it, at the end of the day, it's what you take away from a piece that really matters.
If an essay was written extremely well. Clear clean beautiful sentences and pristine structure. But by the conclusion we realize the idea is nonsense. Just utter garbage. I don't know about you but I wouldn't be very happy about it.
The quality, style and structure of writing is like the comfort of your chair on a flight. It's good to be comfortable and it sucks when it's uncomfortable. But when I land I'd better be in the right location, that's why I took the flight.
Of course, that's not to say writing quality is not important. It's a canvas after all. But as long as you get the idea across. That's the most important. That's the bottom line.
Look back at the many great thinkers in history. Even if they wrote some of the most dense and difficult to understand texts, we still try our hardest to understand them.
