I was going for a style of writing I’m familiar with in explaining useful things—question to conclusion, I don’t know the formal name for it—and then I wrote the title last, so that people who already knew the core point wouldn’t need to waste time getting the evidence.
I’m not sure excluding this style from LessWrong actually improves Less Wrong’s efficiency at sharing useful knowledge? Tagging it better would be good, of course.

So the style is based around making assertions, and if people don’t think the point is obvious, they ask for evidence/ask what you mean?
Do you have any (other) examples of the style?
