In Technical Writing, it's expected that readers don't want to read what you write. In fact, I used to teach with a book with that on the cover (see the notepad): [![cover of 1st Edition Essentials of Technical Writing by Tebeaux and Dragga -- shows hands typing on a laptop, and a small notepad beside it saying Nobody wants to read what you write](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Yz9C9.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Yz9C9.jpg) (basically - Tech Writing people only read the bits they NEED for the info they need to make a decision or take action. For fiction, though, things are for pleasure, and while people may read _fast_, like for a thriller (and miss details/depth), they don't _skip_ bits.)
