Dorothy Winsor explains how “our explanations are weak because our questions are weak” (8). By this she means that In order to be successful writers it is necessary to make the right questions in order to get the required information. In this article she introduces the example of the “Challenger’s explosion” in which the failures were caused because of miscommunication of employees who were responsible for the failure of the space shuttle. Since “people in the organizations involved knew about the faulty O-rings but failed to pass on the information to decision makers” (7). This could be caused because of the way they communicate the problem and that they did not show it was a serious a problem and the decision makers did not pay too much attention to it.
