One also has to add that, even before the severe health problems, Hutton always seemed much more successful in convincing his fellow scientists when he spoke to them than when he wrote. Hutton had a rather peculiar written style of presentation which made his theory less intelligible and, as a result, he received less acclaim than he deserved.
Isa rin ay upang idagdag na, kahit na bago ang malubhang problema sa kalusugan, Hutton palaging seemed much more matagumpay sa kanyang kapwa-paniwala siyentipiko kapag siya nagsalita sa kanila kaysa sa kapag siya wrote. Hutton ay katangi-tangi sa halip ng isang nakasulat na estilo ng pagtatanghal na kung saan ginawa ang kanyang teorya ng mas kaunting naiintindihan at, bilang isang resulta, siya ay nakatanggap ng mas kaunti kaysa sa pagbubunyi siya marapat.
