1. Ignore the older academics.

2. Active voice rules. Ask any technical writer.

Active voice avoid errors when you describe a complex action or process and when you provide instructions.

Passive and third-person writing styles may work for writing personnel reviews, but that is about the only place they work. Active voice reduces "gray areas" and assigns responsiblity.
