So, what's wrong with this article? Is it bad prose, or too hand-wavy assertions, or overly obscure presentation/inferential distance, or too much text, or too obvious a point? Please leave a comment, I really don't understand.
In general, I think that getting a custom of writing some formal review-like comments would be valuable as feedback, not about the subject of the article, but about presentation, especially if the article looks bad and there is much for the author to work on improving.
Honestly, I just haven't gotten around to reading it yet.
Of note, I have only ever considered the formatting a problem on one article here. I downvoted and sent the author a private message about it.
