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?

Yep, I think we're talking about different sorts of questions. I wouldn't expect to teach a fellow programmer a new language that I knew for instance because that's not my job. But I would help them if they got stuck. I'm talking two minute answers here not one hour ones.

You should tell people that you're too busy if that's the case :-)
