Very interesting, and yes I think I’m getting at something like that here as well.

No I think it does—almost like free-range foraging vs. being spoon-fed information (wild animal vs. domesticated) - in the former you learn how to quickly discriminate between good/useful food and bad and develop a kind of intuition for how to efficiently find the good stuff whereas in the latter you do not.

Fair enough, but as I said not all writing has to be aimed at maximum concision and clarity (and insisting that it should be is bad for our collective creativity). One may choose to write in a less direct manner in order to briefly present numerous tangentially related ideas (which readers may follow up on if they choose) or simply to provide a more varied and entertaining reading experience. Believe it or not, there are other goals that one can have in writing and reading besides maximally efficient communication/intake of information.

What about this is hard to read? I’m confused.

So there is really no purpose to every read something non-fiction besides efficient intake of information? Is that what we really believe?

Not going to be everyone’s vibe that’s fine, but if you’ve forgotten that there are other reasons to read something besides maximally efficient intake of information then that’s a problem...

Efficient communication/intake of information is not the only reason that people write or read…

there is no main idea and I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything. It is nothing.

To be clear, I am not the author—this is an article that was submitted to the journal. If you want to read the article just reach out the email above (if you want to take a look without registering to be a gardener that is okay).
