Like the post. Like the format Adam.

A instructor whose name I have long forgotten pushed us for essays that used concise, descriptive, and accurate words, as few as possible to keep the readers attention, the purpose “clear communication”.

In the brusk and direct parlance of the man working in all elements:

- “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance do not try to baffle them with bullshit!”

- always use the KISS system—“keep it simple stupid”

Under-balanced drilling operations utilized equipment where there was 3” of specialized rubber between the crew and the devil himself.

Clarity and articulation were task critical.

Is there a parallel in the legal or medical fields of endevour?

Thanks so much for the feedback. I'm sure there are medical and legal parallels! Especially in communication, which is at the heart of both endeavours (when they're done well).
