Actually that was rather glib. Lucidity is very difficult to achieve (and
define). It must depend critically on the relative knowledge of the subject
in writer and reader together with the motivation of the reader. That said
so much technical and academic writing is designed to advertise the greater
knowledge of the writer to the unwashed reader or provide material for
publication in learned journals ( ie consigned to obscurity). Seldom is
there a genuine desire to educate and inform. Twas ever thus....:)

You should let him know.

Were you one of the ones concerned? I can't remember.

Don't forget to be explicit about your criticism:-)
