    Things can always be boiled down. But the more you boil it down, the more previous knowledge you assume people have in common, and it might happen that they don’t understand because they didn’t have knowledge you assume they had.

    Conversely, if you include too much information, not boil it down enough, you lose people by being bored of getting told things they already know.

    In any case, it’s not an easy balance and I’m just doing my best here to guess which amount of “boiling down” is “just right”. But thanks for your comment, I’ll take it into consideration.
