Of course what is of final importance in representations is whether human
beings possess the capacity to extract from them with some modest effort
what they are intended to convey.
Fortunately most people who deal with hypertext and other extended forms
of representation are able to ignore that simple fact, because to do
otherwise would be to go out of business.
Some day, far into the future, in a land far away, someone is going to
recognize that the design of representations begins and ends with what
human beings are able to comprehend. Until that day arises, the New York
Times sunday puzzles will continue to be eclipsed by software people.
