You seem to be conflating "quality of writing" with "quality of idea". That's
an incorrect linkage.

Have you ever tried to read Newton's "Principia"? To me, it's a nightmare to
read (admittedly, in part because he didn't want to reveal the incremental
calculus). Needless to say, the ideas in it are anything but.

Anyway, these documents were well enough written for me to understand what
the point was.
