My experience using e-prime with fellow non-experts suggests otherwise. The increased precision bifurcates perspectives, interpretations and nuances. Agreements take longer to reach, but everyone feels smarter during the process. I think mastery takes ages. I also think all the “beginner” texts, the ones you can find online or in books quickly, overemphasise the precision and analytic benefits. I got much more from it once I started using it in a more poetic mode. It draws “scientific” communication out into myriad detail; it contracts poetry and prose with punch.
