Personally, I enjoy the sensation of being blindfolded and being led somewhere that I can't identify. It sharpens the senses and keeps me guessing what's about to happen. I suppose that it's best to be able to trust the person whose leading you in a situation such as this. After all, if you don't know where you're going, it comforting to know that the person leading you does.
I'm not sure that that basic condition gets upheld in a web essay. Speaking for myself (and sometimes I'm not even able to do that well) there are times when I know exactly what it is that I want to write and where I want to go (or lead). And then there are other times when the parts seem right, but they don't necessarily succeed in fusing into a consistent whole. And I admit that this time seems to be one of those.
