I do agree that writing is a moving target. Different people learn in different ways, some people learn best from the style and content in the original submission. I’ve often thought that all docs should have a mirror video tutorial to give the same info for visual learners.

I disagree that the big picture is so broad. Your article about subjectivity is accurate, but it applies to the field of creative writing. For technical writing and to some extent journalism, they are almost defined by by their purpose in communicating a specific thing. That “thing” is the big picture.
