A lot of people have to write for audiences with narcissism, who never ask, because asking constitutes an admission that there might be something important that they don’t understand. They’re always looking for any reason, however shallow, to dismiss any view that surprises them too much.

It’s best if you can avoid having to write for audiences like that. But it’s difficult to avoid them.
