A comment on The Big TDD Misunderstanding. Parent comment
When you created or found a new way do approach development and you want to spread that idea, you want to persuade.
Alternatively you may want to inform, for example when you teach or journal. In which case you write down the facts without embellishing them.
Finally you may want to do a critical review, then you explain the method in relation to other methods and existing practices. Pros and cons, etc.
The hope is that the reader will understand these goals and adopt it into their own beliefs as they see fit in relation on how it was presented.
