Highlight — Among Sandeep Krishnamurthy's list of top writing mistakes made by his students:

Comments on All good writing is rewritten
Nothing really new…
(Montaigne, a French author of the 16th century was recommending his pupils to rewrite 20 times)
And what Montaigne writes is insightful much about all the time — like Pascal.
But I do not recall the two are 21st century U.S. business schools teachers — who typically teach things that are everything but insightful.
