Comment on This is a regular text file. People will read it. Maybe.

Love this (assuming it's satire). I think there is a bit of group think on HN lately.

Sometimes, we have a highly up voted UX article that tells us users "can't read" so we should not rely on text.

At other times, we have this highly up voted manifesto that tells us we should focus more on text.

Am I the only one to see a contradiction?

PS: I do think text/plain HTML files are great (in some cases).
