#ExcessiveLinking: if you link on a visual canvas, it is easier at least to avoid TRANSITIVE links.

https://t.co/e7idKSL2Gx Matthias Melcher offers some comments on my recent presentation, most of which I am in agreement with (and especially the notions of 'scientific apprenticeships' and 'simple things like annotation and rearranging').
