> Err, where did you wrote that? I can’t find it in your last two articles.

Just now. In an HN comment.

I write in conversational English. I'm not always going to meticulously write everything like a formal argument might.

If you didn't understand that what I wrote later in a blog post was predicated on an assumption established in the intro, but would have if I wrote an explicit transitional sentence, that's useful feedback. But if you're treating an informal blog post like a court filing, you might be setting yourself up for disappointment.

Fair enough.

When I write an article (and to a lesser extent even a comment like here), I tend to agonise over every sentence. I’m guessing I’m kinda assuming others do the same. Except of course they don’t.

It depends what I'm doing.

My dayjob involves a lot of code review and protocol cryptanalysis, so I agonize quite a bit there.

My blog would be less fun if I maintained the same level of rigor. If that makes any sense. ^^;

It does :-)
