> It doesn't make sense as being cultural because there plenty of real examples of effective writing that starts with what you are writing about.

This is a non-argument. In the US, writing is considered effective if you put the bottom line up front. GP wrote that BLUFfing is considered offensive in their culture. Now you respond that lots of people like BLUFfing.

Now you say it's not culture-dependent but a universal truth that BLUF is better.

Well, other cultures disagree.

Bluf seems to be a specific thing, no one mentioned that in the thread I'm commenting on.

The post that I responded to suggested having an intro with a summary of what's to follow is offensive
