Yeah, I don't claim aphantasia is the reason I don't find them generally useful: it's just that what some people might get (work back from a diagram on their mind to relationships) is not there as one potential benefits of diagrams. But no, what I am saying is that diagrams can't capture what a textual description can (for me[1]): like I struggled to accept that anyone can find diagrams useful for years, believe me that a diagram defined with a nice diagramming DSL works better for me. Or, you know, bullet points: I can put those into my working memory and work with that. Maybe it's my history as well: started with DOS and reluctant to switch to Windows having only used 3.11 for Internet, so after a short stint in NT, moved full time to Linux, doing everything with DSLs: printer escape sequences, AT commands, plain TeX for typesetting... — this is all early to mid primary school. [1] Obviously, as there are textual representations of diagrams, they are an equivalence class.
