There is a slide up on the screen describing an idea. There are a couple of obvious typos and a couple of funny font size differences.
What do you see first? The typos or the ideas?
If you are like me, the typos and the funny font sizes will probably irk you. I often feel like stopping the discussion and saying “Give me 2 minutes to fix this slide first.”
The point here is that fixing a typo or changing a font size will not change the world. But, the idea.. that’s a different matter.
Seth puts it nicely in his new book – “Most people have been brainwashed to believe that their job is to copy edit the world, not to design it.”
Damn right.
