#2It would be great to see a running example here. A five minute video where notes are made in real time and then a brief overview of why at the end would really help me to understand how this is supposed to work.

#4Where is the scientific evidence that it is one of the best methods?
> Flow-based note-taking is one of the best ways to consume content meant for learning.
What about PQ4R, Cornell, … ?

#5This reads as if you bring your preconceptions to the table and are encouraged to make linkages which confirm them, rather than start with a blank sheet and try to note what you learn.

#6This presupposes you _are_ making sense of the material as it is being taught, and that your understanding progresses steadily. I think I would feel some distress if I was listening to a live lecture (for example) during whihch linkage suddenly "clicked" for me, causing my mental model to re-orient. I'd either have to find a way to continue adding notes to a diagramme which no-longer represented my understanding of the material, or stop attending to lecture in order to re-organise my notes.

#7This just appears to be a new buzzwordy name for mindmaps?

Interesting, I take notes like this naturally. Now I have a name for it!

#9These kinds of notes never worked for me, but I've found the Feynman technique (inspired by Feynman) to be a very effective strategy for me that similarly derives its benefits from forcing me to synthesize and distill information.
For those interested, it's basically just teaching concept (writing an article, talking to someone, etc.), usually after having studied it/taken notes. The idea is that teaching a concept, even to an imaginary audience, forces you to learn it on a fundamental level:

Came here to say the same. BS.
