By his own criteria, I am taking the title of his presentation literally and denotationally, in the most simpleminded, straightforward and unambiguous way possible. After all, if he doesn't quite say precisely what he means, he's not writing very "clearly," is he?
He purports to teach me to "How to Write More Clearly, Think More Clearly, and Learn Complex Material More Easily."
I really don't think that's what Covington meant.
