What are his reasons for suggesting this?
I agree. Personally, I prefer your writing style. Eliezer's writings strike me as being excessively long-winded and imprecise. As other commentators have pointed out, his Sequences generally have a very low information-to-words ratio -- most people, I suspect, would be significantly better off reading the primary sources instead of spending time reading the Sequences.
The thing is, for a lot of people Eliezer is just much more interesting to read, in spite of the long-windedness.
