> My goal now is to use fewer words to convey an idea. Everyone's interpretation of words is different, so using more precise language will just muddle your ideas. To use a metaphor from electronic communication—there's so much noise in the channel that modulating your signal doesn't provide any extra information.

This is really interesting. This is the opposite I do when writing for myself and what I would probably do if publishing a blog. I really like adding nuance when taking notes as it helps me when reading them later. But now I'll pay attention to not adding them when publishing.
