Sure, I'm aware that this is how things are done. The problem is that the goal isn't really to convey the information in its best form, it's to alter the information to suit the existing form.

When people are complaining about how a format doesn't suit what it is trying to present, I don't believe the correct response is to underline how difficult it is to properly format things that way. If the format is set in stone for various reasons, perhaps the solution is to not publish things that are complicated rather than failing in an attempt to simplify complex issues.
