Should we be encouraging everyone to write everything in hierarchical notes?
It seems better for reading comprehension.
Faster to read.
And once writers are used to the format, they’ll will find it easier to write out their thoughts.
So are there any reasons other than “we’ve got used to it,” to think that linear writing is superior in any way?
I put the question to you.
