Wholeheartedly agree. My own frustrations with writing come when I forget that point, and try to be the best in each and every dimension. Thinking of it as a Pareto Frontier is a good mental tool to debug this kind of mindset when it arises.
Pushing that Pareto frontier outward means finding some result which hasn’t been explained very well yet, understanding it oneself, and writing that explanation.
Tim Chow calls such results “open exposition problems”, which I quite like.
