Why would I try harder for something that _might_ be interesting? That's just bad writing.

If I can’t tell what something’s about from the first couple paragraphs or a quick skim, I’ll tune it out. I have plenty of other content to read.



I chose to introduce it slowly setting where it came from. I wasn't aiming to write an encyclopedia entry. Otherwise it'd be a one liner.

Can't please them all.
