I will forewarn against following this advice blindly however, because it heavily relies on your audience. Any mature writer should on some level conceive of a precise population of consumers for their work and write to that population, and indeed say “eugh that’s an irrelevant opinion” to people outside of their audience. This is also referred to as having authorial intent or voice. Writing a technical analysis of a very strange bug doesn’t necessarily need to highlight that this isn’t entomology!
