    Reads like an excellent objective goal for any writer. However, does not the perception of the written content also depend on the readers’ subjective viewpoint? How could it be otherwise?

    I guess it depends on the genre of the writing. For example, an Op/Ed piece is usually a venue to persuade, where the writer brings his/her biases, whereas a research piece is to discover. Do you agree?
