Personally, as someone who has been sketchnoting for about 5 years, I feel the point of sketchnoting is more to create a condensed visual reference of an idea for personal recall than for teaching that same idea to someone else. There's a wider argument here of whether notes should be used for personal recall or general reference. I tend to lean towards the former, but there's more nuance here. I'm working on a blog post that discusses how to take good sketchnotes and breaks down this argument a lot further, but it's already super long and far from being finished... perhaps I'll finish it someday, haha. Kudos to the original author of these notes. When taking these types of notes, you have to think about what to leave out as much as what to leave in. I think that concise notes in this style to show that the author has a deeper understanding of the subject than the notes convey on the surface, especially when the point of these notes are to compress one's knowledge on the subject into a concise visual representation. Sketchnotes are macroexpand for the brain :P
