I don't know about you, but I'd love to read a fascinating story written by a relatively poor writer. But if they can't be bothered to write, I assume the story can't be that good.

But this isn't a story, literature, or a fancy piece of art; it's merely a technical blog post that discloses a security vulnerability. Here, the writing serves only as a vehicle to convey a message. Once you've received it, its purpose has been fulfilled. I would agree with you if the writing were an important part of the message, but here it is not. Not everybody can write well, and this guy clearly had something to tell, and that is what matters.

I disagree wholeheartedly. I'm not a machine. I'm a thinking, feeling, human being.

As a mathematician, I can certainly appreciate precise formulations. They have their place. But this is not that place.

I'm sadenned that he wouldn't tell it in his way. I'd much rather read his own (poorly written?) words.
