From your link: > In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if t…

I agree that it's misleading based on the title. On the site and in the text above it's more explicit about being a Zelda-like engine for action adventure games, and it looks like …

"...long writing was necessary only where quick contextualisation was impossible" Adler and Doren's "How to Read a Book" covers quick contextualization; there were techniques and i…
