I think the author is simultaneously reinventing the wheel and overthinking the writing process. Their essay overloads all the work of deep thinking onto the task of writing, which indeed scientists say writing a piece of text is one of the hardest cognitive tasks. The top-down elaboration of bullet points is what middle-school students should've been taught, outlining. The conjecturing and counterexamples are reasoning critically about your own ideas. All of this is easy said but it's all well known and high school education should've taught the basics of this, the rest is just lots of practice.
