I agree, and also, when I'm writing, I am working towards a hierarchy of goals at the level of sentence, paragraph and beyond, and I'm also wondering if what I have written and plan to write could be confusing or misunderstood.

I think it's fair to ask whether these are essential techniques for improving precision and clarity, or just a way to compensate for not being able to see the whole picture all at once - but if the latter is the case, there's still room for improvement in LLMs (and me, for that matter.) I notice that experts on a topic are often able to pick out what matters most without any apparent hesitation.
