Why it worked

Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.
