The author assumes that Bezos doesn't have an editor helping him craft the letter going out to thousands of investors. While Bezos seems entirely capable of writing letters on his own, he's running Amazon. As someone who is known to optimize company time, he would probably write a draft and then have correspondence with an English-phd type for help.

- adamlett 9y agoThe author assumes… Speaking of making assumptions: As someone who is known to optimize company time, [Bezos] would probably write a draft and then have correspondence with an English-phd type for help. Being so busy running a company that one has no time to write, is like being so busy programming that ones has no time to type. Running a company – especially a large one – is all about communication. In most companies, much of that communication is verbal, in various meetings. Amazon is different from most companies in the high value they place in written communication, and the low value they place in ephemeral verbal communication. It would be very surprising if the CEO didn’t exemplify this ethos.
