> No.6 Communicate clearly and concisely

I have mixed feelings about this quote because I do not like when life writers write high-level statements such as this.

Personally, I prefer very very specific suggestions on preventing very very specific problems. For example: How to prevent broken-telephone problem when communicating technical topics to an un-initiated audience?

1. Recognize ambiguous pronouns [1]

2. Distinguish active voice from passive voice

3. Create helpful lists.

Maybe this is a one-off incident of lack of proof-reading? I noticed this SamAltman article didn't have the usual proof reading rigor
