Thanks for making me understand something extremely important with regard to creative work: Every creator should have a single, identifiable victim of his creations!
As far as I can tell, unless I have very specific information about the person I'm writing to, I'm writing for myself as of the moment just before I had whatever insight I'm trying to convey.
That could explain why I'm much more concerned with being clear than with being persuasive.
