The Passive Sentence
I heard someone say once that 'good writing' should include no more than 30 percent passive sentence structure.

While I understand the premise, I am wondeing if anyone has experienced (in writing and/or reading) the absolute need for passive sentences.

After studying, editing and rewriting for countless hours, I sometimes find that the passive sentence is the best way to go (In some circumstances)

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
