Exactly Jennifer but you needed to be motivated to extract the wheat from
the chaff as you have done. Even if you end up with an obvious platitude
after peeling away all the waffle.

I thought it mostly made sense;

Avoid Stroop interference: don't specifically use red font for the
word green. Don't use "Ham Sandwich" to describe a high pressure
antinode.

Keep things the same as much as possible.
Use the same term throughout the text you are writing, unless there is
a good reason to use a different term
e.g., don't use speaker bush, speaker bushing, speaker tube, register
tube, register bush, and register bushing interchangeably, without
having a good reason. Pick a term and stick with it.

Be explicit:
e.g., Use nouns rather than pronouns

Build context
Put ideas in a logical order
Define new ideas and technical terms at their first occurrence.
