#2The fundamental flaw in the author's argument for using SuperMemo is that there is a ton of value in manually creating the decks yourself. When you write out an item in pencil on paper, then copy it to Anki and create a card, you're creating a memory and physical association with the creation of that card. When you just cloze pre-made selections of reading material, you're skipping this entire process.
This is the same reason that downloading pre-made decks from Anki's website doesn't really work.

#7Note to writers: unless you're writing only for an audience that is already familiar with your terminology, it's helpful to spell out acronyms and initialisms the first time you use them.
I skimmed this entire article out of curiosity. It uses the term SRS twenty times but never says what it means. I went back to the top and noticed the "not a prerequisite" link, so I looked at that article too. About six paragraphs in, the fourth mention of SRS finally gave me the key: "Spaced Repetition Software (SRS)".
This tiny bit of knowledge gave me the context to understand what the articles were talking about.
If you put definitions like this at the top of every article, you will have more informed readers who can better appreciate your insights.

There is most certainly a way to do 'incremental reading' in Anki, though it must be done manually. You can do virtually any type of reviewing in Anki with its high degree of customization.
