There's something that's been mentioned several times now by several posters
that has me wondering, namely that consultants should by definition be good
writers/communicators.

Is this so? I don't know the security business, to go back to Andrew's
question, but isn't it possible that someone could really be great at
analyzing a security setup, identifying any holes, and recommending the
necessary fixes, without being a good writer?

I mean, are we in the writing business assuming that all consultants are
writers because that's the kind some of us are?

Just asking.
