I understand what you're saying and agree that slides with more than a little text are distracting.
For many years, even before becoming aware that the approach had a name, I've always made slides for my presentations contain only a few words, and, for the most part, no images.

I don't take it quite as far as having one or two words: I normally limit it to six or seven.
Basically, something people can read instantly.
People have commented that my approach to presentations is quite unusual, but at the same time well received and fairly effective.

That's exactly it!
- castillar76 6y agoYears ago, my dad's hospital had a rule that the head of the department had to review all slides before you gave a presentation at a conference. The department heads had one consistent rule: they had to be able to view your slide without putting it in the projector and tell what it said. Worked pretty well: you can imagine how big and limited the content would have to be to be able to view it on a slide with the naked eye, and it kept people from filling slides with bullet points.
