[Sigia-l] Smackdown: Edward Tufte vs. Don Norman

Karl Fast:

> So bullets are *harder* to write than sentences and paragraphs?

Infinitely. [1]

Like I said at the very beginning of this thread: It's the "I wrote a long
letter because I didn't have the time to write a short one" syndrome.

Distillation is always harder, which PowerPoint forces one to engage in
because of the format constraints. You can't avoid it. Hence the *implicit*
necessity to think through the issues.

[1] Unless you mean it's easier to write bad bullet points than bad longer
prose simply because there are fewer keystrokes involved, yeah, I'd agree
with you.:-)
