Yes, this is an example of what the article is saying: calling this verbose and dense means that the person has a problem in understanding something that is just a little bit more complex than traditional spoken language.
Neither I nor the last commented called the text dense. I claim the article use a-lot of words to say very little, and arguments its points in a overly preachy way. That is *not* dense, that is verbose.
mm. Perhaps phrasing it like this would help;
The article is written in away to appeal to those that already agree with the premise, and dissuade those that don't. 6000 words is on the long side for a blog-post, but not unreasonable for a good essay. This does not read as a good essay, it reads like a preach. Most people that don't agree with the article stopped half way and moved on, and who do we have left in this comment section?
I don't disagree with the conclusion nor the arguments. I disagree with how the authors has written and presented those arguments and conclusions. It could have been 3000 words and still said what it wanted, or it could have said much more at the same word-count.
It's not that the article did or didn't address something. It's the way the article addresses is makes be roll my eyes. I don't disagree with the premise itself, nor necessarily the conclusion. But some of the statistics brought up are irrelevant (as i mentioned), and the article reads more like a preach than a essay.
To me it read like a rant monologue about the youth, saying about 4 things but repeated over and over with different words. It's an essay written in bad faith to essay writing.
