That's exactly it, though - they want people to be better at technical writing, like scientific writing or business reports. Which isn't a bad thing per se, but it's not the same as creative writing at all. About the only things they have in common is conventions and basic ideas of organization (and even the latter is often executed differently).

THAT is the kind of writing considered "essential", not creative writing.

And let's be real, even if you never said "drawing/painting is better", you're sure trying really hard to make it sound like you have to have more talent to make it as an artist and that art is more refined (not a hard word to define). And not everyone who has learned technical writing (which even then many people aren't good at, as you pointed out) has the talent to tell a story convincingly or engagingly. AND even those with the talent must practice to refine it.

You know, I don't think I can find words little and short enough to explain this to you so that you'll get it. You go on telling yourself what you want to think.

You've resorted to petty insults and an obvious attempt to weasel out of an actual argument. I am so convinced! Good job, anon!
