The biggest sleight of hand in essay writing is cramming tree-shaped ideas into linear form. (Endnotes help a lot. They force those branches to be compressed, but the result can sometimes be pleasing in the same way gatehouses are.)

Paul, which do you think requires more complex problem solving and critical thinking: essay writing or entrepreneurship?
To do them well, about the same. But bad (slick and amusing, but intellectually dishonest) essayists can trick readers more easily than bad founders can trick users.

I believe nothing requires more creative & critical thinking than journalism. I got my degree in physics. Some of the math was way beyond me, but I still think journalism requires far more critical thinking and problem solving than any other field, academic or professional.

That seems to be part of the problem. Journalists are supposed to provide an objective overview of world events. Creativity should be kept to a minimum.
