Dear all
This is very off-topic. Yesterday I read a slightly disturbing article
on the Economist ('Learning difficulties', [1]), which suggests that
making textbooks (and presentations, I suppose) harder to read makes
the audience better understand the material. For example, one should
strive to use 'difficult-to-read fonts (12-point Comic Sans MS 75%
greyscale and 12-point Bodoni MT 75% greyscale)' instead of a
'16-point Arial pure-black font'.Does this make sense to any of you? Should I start preparing my presentations in grey colour?
