The Reader Is Smarter Than You Think (The art of saying enough, then getting out of the way)

from The Quiet Quotient · host Jim Hansen

One of the strangest things writers do is refuse to trust their readers. We write a sentence. Then we write another sentence explaining the first sentence. Then a third sentence explaining the second sentence. By the end, we've wrapped a perfectly good observation in so much protective padding it resembles a television being shipped across the country.
