My philosophy towards writing is remembering how I wrote the multitude of bullshit papers I was assigned in college classes and then doing the exact opposite.
The vast majority of things that I was told to write about were objectively uninteresting and SHOULD have been summarized in a paragraph or two. So I padded those babies out with long words, meandering and passive phrasing, tangents, definitions, and so forth. I don't think any teacher or professor ever directly called me out for obviously sacrificing quality for correctness. But in hindsight, I rather wish they had.
(There's probably a deeper story in here about how some parts of college actively prevent students from succeeding in real life.)
