...However forceful Strunk’s pleading, though, the
argument for clarity has its purest expression in Stephen King’s 2000 On
Writing: A Memoir of the Craft. King’s chapter “What Writing Is” opens
with the simple declaration: “Telepathy, of course” (King 2000, 95).
The word “telepathy” may seem chosen for humor, but in scientific
writing your goal should always be communication so crystal clear that

it feels to the reader like telepathy-like direct transmission to the read-
er’s brain from yours.
