This is funny because I am drawn to people that just come out and say their outspoken and blunt opinions (about relatively safe topics, music is def fair game!).

I perceive it as very genuine and demonstrates comfortability/closeness.

Maybe that’s the flip side of this coin though!

I think interesting? It’s kind of hard to tell.

You are going to have to significantly tone down the editorialization and platitudes to get this to a place where a journal might consider it.

Make the point of how it’s novel or useful by explaining what it does, not by repeating that it’s novel and useful.
