Hi, Peter...a good writer isn't going to change how they write,
regardless of whether they are seeing a feature for the first time or
not. Familiarity with the feature in not an issue because a good
writer writes for a novice audience according to an approach, and can
repeat this approach over and over.

Good writing doesn't happen based on a point in time...it's
intentional and repeatable.
