There are different levels of communication: high level and low level. In writing as in conversation, high-level communication gets us from Point A to Point B without getting caught up in the details Low-level communication, however, gives us all the specific, in-the-weeds details. While sometimes necessary, low-level communication often hurts clarity. Imagine you’re driving on a highway and the only gas stations are in peripheral small towns. Would you stop in every town? No, you would only stop when you’re about to run out of gas. Stopping at every small town doesn’t get you from Point A to Point B.
