ED:  This raises three questions: (1) is writing good because it reads well
formally or (2) is writing good because it is substantively interesting or (3)

I don't know. There are as many kinds of writing as there things to
write about and people who write. One interesting exercise is to try
to write about physical science or mathematics and make it make
sense. A good example is Louis de Broglie's popularize version of
pre-60s quantum mechanics (forgot the titles). There are no formulas,
and yet he manages to explain it pretty well.
