Writing doesn’t require humility. There are plenty of egocentric writers who do not handle feedback well. Writing benefits from humility.
Someone may be able to write, and get a point across, but it's not just the wording and explanation, it's the capture of the context within the writing, and without humility the context is likely to be distorted, thus negatively effecting the goodness of the writing.
Clear communication does not depend on whether someone feels notably understated in their heart. I hope. Gad!
Note to self: Humility =/= reality
