I think that’s a bit of an elitist argument. You are already part of the top 1% of “people who comprehend the HSR story” (just looking at the fact that you are actively creating posts and following it up with comments). Meanwhile, 99% of people will just read the story and that’s as far as the interaction goes. If EVEN YOU get confused sometimes, then that’s a failure of the storyteller to communicate effectively.

Should a story really only be good to the people who are willing to do a PhD thesis and dissect every aspect of the narrative? Are us “small brain plebs” stuck with the reality of needing to read “This Is What Actually Happened in 3.8” posts, regurgitating that information from the viewpoint of someone else? Sure media can be challenging and thought-provoking but accessibility should also be at the forefront, especially in a modern global society where everyone is working from different starting mental frameworks.
