A few statements on knowledge, each of which is innocuous on its own, bt which together would force most people to revise their understanding of knowledge. Like this: "We evolved to handle unstructured fragmented fine granularity information objects, not highly structured documents. People will spend hours on the internet, or in casual conversation without any incentive or pressure. However creating and using structured documents requires considerably more effort and time. Our brains evolved to handle fragmented patterns not information."
