If more bits are spent for the explanation of concrete changes (like
"move general info first and then describe details") that back
subjective claims (e.g. make it "better", "improve" the structure),
the result probably would read better. Readers do not have to take
your word on it that the result is "better", but at least would
understand the reason why you think the result is "better" and can
agree (or disagree) more easily.
I am not Phillip but to me what you wrote in the above look clear
enough. Thanks for working on it.
