Thanks for reading! To give a more concrete example, one of the things I want to talk about is "hooks." The first few sentences of any piece of writing should convince the reader that the rest of the piece is worth their time. That applies to blog posts, design documents, emails, tutorials, etc. I understand what you're saying about how I could bury a foundational topic in a glossary, but "hooks" are a topic that I think 80% of my readers don't understand, so it feels weird to bury it later in the book rather than introduce it early and then talk about higher level things that depend on it.
