We think they (1 and 3) detract from the quality of the article (high) but
will send it to Ellen as you prefer.

Hi, guys-
The first and third instances are meant to be intentionally humorous

We felt that the following was an excessive, even too "cutesy" use of
hyphenation:
"bunch-of-cars-driving

The following did not seem clear. Is it all part of the quote?
"This booklet is exceedingly brief and condensed. The reader is advised
to
read it a second time. This disclosure is so amazing, so different from
the
common conception, you probably did not really grasp it all the first
reading."
It seemed to us that the "it" was awkward below:
"If we measure the success of a prophet by how wrong he can be for how
long
he can be it"
