The post doesn't actually describe any kind of science to writing. That was disappointing.

It's essentially saying that you start with an outline, then progressively fill in the sections, iterating and providing more detail at each iteration. I do something similar, which is why I prefer to work in outline mode (e.g. in MS Word) as it is the most flexible and "minimalist" mode for structured writing.

The science seems to be

1. Write stuff

2. Make it better

3. Continue with step 2

It even is an algorithm.

Something like Feynman's algorithm:

1. Write down the problem.

2. Think very hard.

3. Write down the solution.
