Underestimating Your Readers
March 15th, 2006 • Rants
The thing is, you probably got lost a couple of times – and as I told you, that’s what usually happens, so don’t stress. So don’t feel bad if you have to reread each chapter more than once, or even ten times before you’re truly good to go.
This is a quote from the Sybex CCNA Study Guide by Todd Lammle. What I can’t really understand is who is this guy? and why is he underestimating his own readers?! I understand TCP/IP, subnetting and VLSM can be a little tricky, but not to an extent where I need the writer to “ease my pain”. Maybe Todd should take a look at this.
Writing rule of thumb: Encourage your readers, don’t put them down.
