I read this entire post and all the comments this disproving the Miller principle

  This principle applies to the following: - User documentation - Specifications - Code comments - Any text on a user interface - Any email longer than one line Not blog posts or comments. Ironic

    Damn, I guess I didn't read it closely enough

      Proved that read is not causation of understanding but mere correlation. So if the read of the Miller principle is interpreted as read+understanding (it should) an interesting deeper discussion can happen. It can be invoked with a way more dramatic "None understands anything"

    If you read closely, you’ll see that there is no claim that this would be an exhaustive list rather than an exemplifying one, and the principle itself unambiguously states “anything”.
