Good writing is not for “skimmers”...go back to “See Spot run.” or the NYT..that you can skim.

I was in the bidness. The writing is fair. When many readers do not get the point, the writer failed. It is not the fault of the reader.

Far as "skimmers" is concerned, knowing how to skim is a very useful ability and should not be disparaged. Many professionals skim reading text which is upside down (very useful and somewhat intimidating ability for an editor..or was before computers when copy would lie on a desk).
