RE: PHD in Tech writing

[John Posada <JPosada -at- book -dot- com>]

What KIND of business software? Business software for the futures trading
business? Business software for the insurance annuities business? Business
software for ecommerce web site business? Business software for the embedded
applications business?

A writer with specific in-depth knowledge of these businesses isn't going to
be a better writer than someone without that specific in-depth knowledge?
