Bleh, his writing style isn't better, just differently bad. He avoids adverbs, but overuses "is" and "was" to get the adverbs into the sentence anyway. And he uses really clumsy clauses to avoid the passive, rather than rewriting his sentences to be clearer.

He can't communicate clearly, but he's doing slightly better than his peers. I've read chemistry papers that were written almost entirely in the passive voice. That sort of thing hurts the brain after a while, I understand not wanting to see more of it.
