obviously, different people prefer each style, and Eliezer and I were both falling prey to the typical mind fallacy.

Unstated in this post or the 'typical mind fallacy' link is the hypothesis that objectively not-better writing exists. To test this hypothesis, here is a sample of not-better writing that I have a high confidence will not be persuasive or interesting:

If I have established that objectively not-better writing exists, that is a foundation to move away from. It is possible that in moving away from objectively not-better writing, we might move toward better writing. Further, we might move toward better writing that meets more than one preferred style of reading.
