With that I certainly agree.  What I don't agree with is that this
is a better approach to content-only, or the best approach, by
any means.  I agree that content-only isn't a good way to teach
writing, but I think the opposite extreme (what he's talking about)
has exactly the same flaws.  Further, he made it sound like this was
*the* answer, precluding all others, and that I didn't appreciate.
