Based on the rule (?) that a judgment tells more about the judge than 
about what is judged, may we conclude that Plato was a lousy writer? 

To me it only seems handy to document what you're doing. However 
ununderstandable it may be, a written story is easier to remember (or 
to reread) than oral history. BTW, if you cannot write clearly, can you 
explain clearly in speech?
