School never taught me that writing is often at its worst when hyperoptimized to be read by a general audience.
Every great writer has their own style, 'breaks rules' in their own way, and most often and importantly writes somewhat clearly.
The absolute best writers totally forgo any rules or requirements of clarity but do obey a consistent logic.
Modern writing classes are great for writing corporate reports, but miserable to read anywhere else.
