What is wrong with the following example:

In order to pinpoint the requirements for an effective microchip development environment sufficiently to definitively obtain answers to the above questions, it is essential to be able to interview a wide variety of microchip developers who are knowledgeable and experienced in such matters.

Answer:

1. The sentence would be easier to understand if broken into two sentences.

2. The phrase "In order" is superfluous and can be dropped.

3. "To definitively obtain" is a split infinitive.

4. "to definitively obtain answers to" could be replaced by "to answer definitively"

5. "Essential to be able to" can be replaced by "necesary to."

6. Replace "knowledgeable and experience" by "experts".

7. The weak adverb "sufficiently" dropped without loss of meaning.

8. The phrase "a wide variety of" can be replaced by "many."

9. The clause "who are knowledgeable and experienced in such matters" can be replaced by one word: "expert."

10. The repetition of "to" twice in the introductory phrase is awkward; replace second "to" by "and."

Revised text:

To pinpoint the requirements for an effective microchip development environment and answer definitively the above questions, it is necessary to interview many expert microchip developers
