9 January 2023 - stupid audience
< yesterday --
tomorrow >
Anything you say will be misunderstood by some. It doesn't matter how
natural the idea is, or how careful the wording, and adding
clarifications will cause overinterpretation. Of course we conclude that
audiences are stupid and must be talked down to. Aren't most people
stupider than you? But not so, the world is more confusing than that.
Those who talk down are not as smart as their audience.
