I like that the language is also minimally-dramatic. Seems like the product of a clear-minded thinker. (And/or many revisions).

I like this too. There's very little to criticize, since it basically tells it exactly like it is without too much embellishment, and makes intelligent, honest conclusions.

I noticed the simplistic language used too. But I found it refreshing as the author is able to cite more external material while keeping the reader's (or at least, my) attention to the core message. No distracting jargon or flowery language were employed. But it could also be how my simple mind functions too..

Not difficult, concise (and in particular more concise than the thought would be expressed in spoken Chinese).

I appreciate the direct language. It’s refreshing to not have to read through the lines of PR-speak.

I found the article to be high-level without sacrificing the language needed to describe it. It's a good balance.

It's thoughtful to me. I believe in being clear and concise. We're dealing in subjectivity here, it's as simple as that.

Actually, I appreciate the definite opinions and colorful language. And, the POV expressed is realistic, IMO.

Actually, it wasn't particularly. It was intentionally written in very plain, common English, in a way that refers to concrete things, not big ideological abstractions.

Plain language like that would be fantastically refreshing yes.

I like how the author used Minimum Viable Words to convey his point.

I'm glad that they are sensible if you wade through this transcript. It'd be nice if they used descriptive terms consistent with their message, rather than reaching for fashionable cliches.

But also terse. I like that

I also like the frankness and simplicity of their communication style.

No fancy buzzwords, to the point and speaks to things we all know are true but are typically not addressed or are wrapped up in spin. The first and last paragraphs are great examples.

The authenticity of it leaves me with a strong sense of trust and respect.


It promotes consice yet well-thought out statements.

This guy's source is terse and clean. I like it.

A presentation of the facts, accounting for multiple perspectives with criticisms, with minimal editorializing or loaded language.

As an aside, I love the design of this mini-blog format. And I really appreciate the author who says just one thing and doesn't have the need to generate walls of meaningless text to convey it.

Maybe a little arrogant but as someone looking for a 'small check' to rundown an idea, that doesn't bother me.

It's just nice to be able to make sweeping simplistic statements about a super complicated situation
