Oh, I nearly forgot one of the most importants:

- NEVER give an example to illustrate what you mean,
or in case you feel obliged to do so, choose it so
carefully that the reader will shoot himself dead
after having read it a dozen times and finally thrown
the book out of the window from rage and despair.

Examples don't belong to philosophy.
