twists and revelations are just unhelpful especially when someone is trying build a mental model, but I do think there's probably some overlap in pacing and I'll pieces together into a complicated model has some overlap with story telling, because there's definitely bad educational writing which is a slog to get through because they front load a lot of stuff without application.

I do find it kind of annoying when someone has a set of side characters they are trying convey the information through. Like it's cute the first few times you see it but after a while it's grating.

I do think some people for whatever reason also have no issue with the front loaded info dumps, maybe they are looking for a specific piece of information they want to pull not sure. I prefer something a bit structured while having the ability to zoom out and look for the piece later on.

Not everyone consumes information the same, so I don't know there's really a objective best way.

> LLMs have made this problem extremely worse. Imagine how'd you'd explain what an MCP is in a couple words and technically, then try to look it up. There's phone books worth of pages and text that never end up getting to the point

Also this, but I think this might be a result of models of poorly designed benchmarks and training that led to claude reading like an inner monologue and an exhaustive noncommittal statement being certain on very few things, leading a ton of unnecessary prefaces.
