Another AI-writing rule: cut faux-insight openings and just state the claim

This reply continues the same AI-writing teardown with two more rules.
The author says to remove:
- pattern 4: em dashes used as a rhythm crutch
- pattern 3: faux-insight setups like “what most people miss…”
The rewrite advice is simple: state the claim directly instead of building a fake expert persona around it. Example: write “Distribution is the moat” rather than “The part everyone misses: distribution is the moat.”
