If I could walk that WAI I wouldn't need the guidelines

Since the Understanding document ['Understanding WCAG 2.0'] is more than double the size of what it purports to explain, this itself may indicate a problem with WCAG 2.

Is it just me, or is an exposition of something often longer than what it's explaining? Particularly (one might even argue necessarily) when you're translating from technical specifications into more generally-accessible language, i.e. from high to low information density?

I use that technique too if people ask me questions that are easy to look up. Much better to show them indirectly what they should be doing than tell them to RTFM.
