And the hallowed FR tradition of ‘not-reading-the-article’ carries on.

Yesterday, there was someone that asked for a summary of an article because he claimed that it was behind a paywall and he couldn't see it.

He was lying because USA Today is NOT behind a paywall.

I think a lot of people are just lazy, don’t bother to read beyond the headline and first comment, and simply make assumptions.

(A lot of people are also afraid of clicking on links.)

The article discusses an introduction to the PDF version of the document which is about 1:20 pages long of single spaced type. That’s too long to not have a summary.
At 500 words per page (single spaced) times 120 pages the word count is around 60,000.

That’s a lot to read comprehend analyze and discuss.
15 to 25 bullet point, one pager would be nice.
