My wife (tech writer) calls this the 'mystery novel' form of essay. She says Engineers are particularly guilty of writing that way. She was right, in my case anyway. For a while after I married her I would go through all my writing and move the last sentence in each paragraph to first. Because I did it all the time.

This sounds similar to 'burying the punchline' which we are also prone to do.

If you have a solution to the problem you are describing, please notify us in the first paragraph so we don't think you're just complaining.
