Yes. Yes. Yes. A million times yes. I can't count how many times I've invested meaningful time and effort to grok the key ideas and intuition of a new AI/DL/ML paper, only to feel that those ideas and intuitions could have been explained much better, less formally, with a couple of napkin diagrams. Alas, authors normally have no incentive (or time, for that matter!) to publish nice concise explanations of their intuitions with easy-to-follow diagrams and clear notation... so the mountain of research debt continues to grow to the detriment of everyone. I LOVE what Olah, Carter et al are trying to do here.
