    OP, for your next work try to stay away from combative prose and judgemental remarks about quality, taste, or rates of success. They detract from providing a clean analysis.

    I appreciate your critique of my writing style, and I largely agree with it.

    The reason I chose this style is that, as a thought experiment explicitly challenging the prevailing "DT sucks" sentiment, I felt it was necessary to maintain a clear, assertive, and at times, even "combative" rhetoric to make my case.

    My goal of writing: to present a new methodological framework for analysis ("narrative forensics"), and to propose specific theories and the crucial evidence I uncovered using that framework.

    Trying to achieve both goals in a single series was indeed difficult to control, and it might even come across as a 'schizo". I've had a thorough reflection session on this, and I agree that it's probably a better direction in the future to separate these different objectives into distinct works

    But your point is well noted. It's a constant balancing act between analytical rigor and persuasive rhetoric. I appreciate you calling attention to it and giving me something to think about for future work.
