I’ve always thought making something seem easy to do/understand is a great sign of skill of expertise. Creating that sense of “effortlessness” tends to take a lot of effort and thought, in all domains. So my own heuristic would be the opposite.

I see people berating others in Psychology "but it's too simple" or "obviously duh" essentially. Sad but true. Of course if it's so obvious and simple, you wonder why didn't they do it?

For me if you can make people think "I can't believe no one did/said this before" you've written an awesome paper.

Replying to @alex__morley @o_guest and
I think I have the opposite heuristic, I check with other people I know are smarter than me, and if no one else gets it as well then it's probably a shit paper.

Fair! But that's not 100% perfect. It is however, significantly better to many other heuristics.

Happy you all have so clear heuristic, I don't. Reader and writer points of view are not quite the same!

I don't have any heuristic TBH. I go through reading it and trying to understand it. The only thing close to a heuristic I have is I read the abstract and first few sentences and if I still don't know what they are on about, I infer they don't know how to write abstracts.

I guess you are commenting on the paper, you are a machine!

Perhaps this thread (or threads) is the perfect example of how narrative gets obscure ;)
