I dunno why we needed an AI breakthrough to teach us that “hierarchy of short chunks with a bolded word in each” is the maximally readable format. Why did everyone in the human writing era fail to first-principles reason their way to this?

The statement is a response in a conversation about the readability of text formats, specifically referencing direct mail's use of bolded words and short chunks. It does not engage with public issues or societal concerns, but rather comments on a specific communication technique.
