Is Writing Just about what to Omit?

Samuel Delany, a science fiction author, once said that writing is more about what to omit from your writing. He states that most writing advice you receive is about what you should not do. Though I don't disagree with this second statement, I disagree with this idea that the core of writing is getting rid of things. This does not seem to make sense to me. If the core of good writing is what we should get rid of, isn't it the case that that this should make up the bulk of our writing? On Today's episode of How to Write Good, we are going to talk about whether this advice is good and in what context.
