## Writing Principles

1. **Specificity over generality** — Real data, concrete examples, step-by-step details
2. **Data-driven analysis** — Claims supported by real-world testing
3. **Honest evaluation** — Both pros and cons presented
4. **Bilingual consideration** — English versions tend to be more comprehensive; translations preserve original tone
