  The human brain processes information by chunking - bundling up information into chunks to remember it. It’s like a .zip file or compression on an image. That process is a bit lossy. If you’ve ever tried to write a technical document or a rules-set for a game, and had a user go through the document undirected, you’ll see it in action.

  The more complicated, technical, or tedious the instructions are, the more likely loss or misinterpretation will occur. A friend of mine says that writing a technical document is like programming a computer that skips every 7th line.

  As a person who has written many of these, I’ve found ways to counteract / ameliorate their problems:

  • the use of paragraphing important points that you want feedback on
  • When sending to multiple people, but wanting feedback from a specific person, I bold, underline, and color their name next to their action item, so they know it’s for them
  • Using checklists or bullet points
  • explaining things through multiple avenues, like with visual images and with text simultaneously

  I hope this helps!

  I’ve been re-watching the TV series “Leverage”, but it’s disappointing in not believable. It’s based in an insane world where the rich and powerful can eventually lose their money and go to jail.

  OK, so I have the 2009 edition of the Marvel Encyclopedia, which has 8 pages devoted to The Hulk. Apparently he had “every atom of his body exposed to gamma radiation” from a gamma-bomb he was working on. It’s been revealed that Banner also has multiple personality disorder that contributes to his various Hulk forms.

  I thought I remember from decades ago that his bulk and healing energy comes and goes from a transdimensional space, but I can’t seem to find that in the article.

  However, I really like this StackExchange answer, which posits that he is an energy-processing mutant that taps into the Power Cosmic to fuel his incredible strength. https://scifi.stackexchange.com/a/84410

  Also, we won’t get cheap eggs and gas.

  “Pre-existing conditions” is just insurance industry slang for something we all have: “medical history”.
