pg explicitly tries to write very simply, which I've definitely appreciated and tried to learn from. However, I think Patrick's unambiguous style is also interesting in its own way, and he is writing very specifically about how (human) systems operate at a level which very very few people write. Others make generic statements like "the Post Office usually delivers mail on Sundays", while he might say "the Post Office has an obligation to deliver mail on Sundays unless one of several [adjective] scenarios occurs, which tends to happen once every [adjective] weeks". I think the former is easier to read but doesn't convey as much specific information.
