I would say that's pretty close to true, yes. If you look at most successful human communication, the important points are almost always repeated. If the communicator is good, he will have rephrased things such that you don't immediately notice that the same thing is being said over and over, but it's definitely there.
- liquidben 17y agoSo multiple exposures to content that's been slightly modulated each time will result in greater user uptake, right?
- Mz 17y agoI struggle with this question when I write. On the one hand, I sometimes feel like I am "repeating myself but with rephrasing". On the other hand, I find that those instances of rephrasing adds content. I often get accused of being excessively long-winded, yet when I shorten things too much, I get wildly misunderstood. I find that many people don't have the context. I suspect part of it is that I don't see the world the same way most people see it. Shorter remarks rely on shared context to be properly understood. Example: In my teens, I remarked to my father that I was considering "running" (something). I was a role playing gamer considering taking up gamemastering. He assumed I meant jogging for exercise. I didn't bother to try to correct. It seemed futile.
