This principle applies to the following:
- User documentation
- Specifications
- Code comments
- Any text on a user interface
- Any email longer than one line
Not blog posts or comments. Ironic
If you read closely, you’ll see that there is no claim that this would be an exhaustive list rather than an exemplifying one, and the principle itself unambiguously states “anything”.
Damn, I guess I didn't read it closely enough
Proved that read is not causation of understanding but mere correlation.
So if the read of the Miller principle is interpreted as read+understanding (it should) an interesting deeper discussion can happen.
It can be invoked with a way more dramatic "None understands anything"
