Surely it is clear
that "expressing a given set of facts and relations clearly and
unambiguously" requires more than writing skills. It requires, at least, a
mastery of the "given set of facts and relations".

Yes, but not of any particular set. Writing skill, in my definition, is the ability to express anything clearly that the writer has understood. Lack of writing skills, consequently, means that even facts that have been understood cannot reliably expressed clearly.

My opinion still is that this is a skill that is a) rare b) valuable in its own right.
