    That’s what I was getting at.

    I try to avoid dropping the term (precisely because of the misconceptions involved) and personally am not a fan of the heavy-handed “here’s a block of information for you to absorb” approach that has long deterred me from looking into it. I just can’t easily work up the energy, attention span and time to commit to longer reading or video series.

    Hence, my attempt is to “sow” the rough ideas in a format I personally found more digestible. We all know the “didn’t read the article” phenomenon, so I try to sum it up in a shorter comment rather than expecting people to click through to some treatise where the table of contents for Section A already spans three mobile screens, the third paragraph of the introduction to it (not even A.1 yet) metions five sections (A-E), dubs them just the “first part” and strikes a very much academic tone.

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good source to read up on the theory, but not what I’d consider an approachable FAQ for curious laypeople.
