Confused writing is usually a symptom of confused thinking. As we struggle to clarify writing, we clarify our thoughts. AI writing aids rob us of that struggle, leaving clean-looking text and thoughts still confused for lack of inspection. Writing is not just a product; it is a diagnostic tool.

As everything we do is wrong, it is very easy to point out what is wrong. Given that the right way to do things is infinitely complex, it is easy to say the right thing is more complex. But every useful contribution to a cumulative science exists somewhere in between these extremes.
