I wrote this article because of a written conversation I had with my mom regarding the efficacy of vaccines and their (disproven) potential to cause autism. I figured it'd be well received here because of the tendency of techies to be systematic thinkers and writers reflexively. In addition to this reflexive/learned practice which most detail oriented people have, I think that formal training in systematic communication is worthwhile for most people to have, even if they've already implicitly taken up the ropes.
