Taking everything literally is not going to help communication, David. 
The standard human will be OK with reading lots of text, if they have

attachment. That doesn’t require their very first contact with the 
project containing a large caveat on reading a lot.

That’s right, but there _is_ _partial_ overlap. It doesn’t help to deny 
that.
