Mark Levinson, lyricist extraordinaire, notes:
"Too easily, the word can tend toward irritating smarminess in pretending
to include the reader when it doesn't, or in pretending to include the writer
when it doesn't. ("Let's look at our next example.")"

OTOH, we (the real we) seem to be stuck between the rock of the
'clinical/editorial/royal we' and the hard place of 'It is recommended'.
Unfortunately, these are the only two alternatives I've seen here (or really
anywhere else, either). Brainstorming anyone (it's only partly cloudy here)?
