Uncommunicative technical documentation

The main problem for any text is not to be too much but to be too little believed. All literary resources that can be mustered to render an account lively, interesting, perceptive and suggestive need to be present. Quantitative studies are not burdened with layers of self-conscious reflexivity, but they do face severe problems making their accounts lively and interesting. When efforts are not made to overcome such challenges, the result is essentially unreadable and the contents are lost to a wider audience.
