It's unsurprising that negative views of Paul Graham are downvoted here, but this is a very worthwhile point. There is nothing "objective" about writing in a bland, unornamented style, or about treating complex problems as if they were syllogisms. Fans of Paul Graham's writing are often like the inverse of undergraduates who revere "difficult" writing for its own sake; both mistake a choice of style for a virtue of thought.
