I think you can tell who still has the ability to read long form content by whether they thought this was full of fluff or decently actionable. I think the bolded parts of section 3 are definitely not fluff. I found the document pretty interesting.

It can be both full of fluff and have actionable take aways.

This is dozens of pages long and reading it thoroughly will net you maybe a dozen useful sentences. That ratio is the problem people are complaining about.

Yes, only MIB (Massachusetts Institute of Bureaucracy) alumni have the capacity of understanding such an august publication!
