Why provide a TLDR section that you feel doesn't accurately represent what you said?
- Nadya 11y agoIf I wanted to repeat each word and include all the nuance the TL;DR would fail to be a TL;DR. It would be a repetition. If I thought I could fit eight paragraphs of my thoughts into a single paragraph without losing nuance, I wouldn't take eight paragraphs to express my points. The point of a summary is to get rid of formalities for the sake of brevity. I feel I summarized my points well and accurately, and the purpose was to save time for those who do not wish to read 8 paragraphs. The trade off is that any formality and nuance is lost in the summary - and you took that lack of formality and ran with it by putting words that weren't there in the summary.
