    Any communication between humans is already subject to bandwidth limitations and shared context, so make it simple; extract and articulate the essence. After all, you cannot hope to grasp, nevermind transfer to sometime else, all the nuance.

      Spot on. The single bulletpoint make America great again is a good example. All the nuances of it can become shared context later over time. Keep it simple, save bandwidth and just do it.

        The problem is that if you ask five Americans how to "make America great again" you'll get no less than six different answers.
