Just to kick a dead horse ....
"Technical communication belongs to a tradition that asserts the
primacy of knowing and being over willing and doing. It insists that the
person thinking is more important than the tools used or the system
acted upon." — Russell Rutter, pg. 135 of "History, Rhetoric, and
Humanism: Toward a More Comprehensive Definition of Technical
Communication." Journal of Technical Writing and Communication 21.1
(1991): 133.
