how did I misstate your position? you say this style is annoying. I say the whole point of this article is style, being an interesting read not just rehashing facts. just like many good books. and I chose a well known book as an example for my point.
there was tons of news rehashing facts of what happened (phones banned yadda yadda), why not just read that instead if you want it
