The first and last questions when writing should be: is this useful to the readers?

Don't write, if you can't express the information in a form that the reader can understand and use.

My last conference paper took six drafts, kept getting shorter, and generated a bunch of good discussions. It stayed on topic, with ties to several branch needs. It took years to learn how to re-write and then push back at editors and supervisors who wanted the usual mush.

Thank you, very helpful post.
