You either missed what I put int he parenthesis or chose to ignore it.

In fact take out the phrase about it being basic and just read the bit about his writing being blunt and to the point. You can see how that information in the sentence contextualises my statement and adds extra depth to the point I was making.

But hey, this is the internet and by all means jump on the smallest detail and scrutinise it rather than looking at the wider point being made.
