Academic writing  
"Yet Professor Sword did find writers in every discipline who were effective in engaging their readers. Comparing the openings of two articles on evolutionary biology, she comments: "Amazingly, the authors of the first make the study of ant communities sound fascinating, while the author of the second succeeds in rendering penis size one of the most boring topics on earth.""

Upd. par Fuko. "Michel Foucault, when he was visiting at Berkeley, was asked by John Searle how he could think and argue so clearly but write so badly. He answered, without irony, that no one would take him seriously otherwise." R. Solomon. The Joy of Philosophy. - p. 263.

Skaidrs, ka tā. Jebkuru topiku var sačakarēt neņemot vērā auditorijas vajadzības (struktūra, valoda, argumentācija).

Konferencēs vispār ir vāks - retais slaidu veidotājs vispār domā par auditoriju, jo fonta izmērs bieži nesalasāms, slaids pārkrāmēts vai otrādi, tajā ir labi ja trīs vārdi, kas neko neizsaka. Retais runātājs domā par to, kā viņš izklausās no malas. Izturēt to visu var vienīgi tad, ja saturs ir tā vērts, bet arī tas nekad nav 100% gadījumu.
