Seriously, why are there so many flowcharts in my reading? LIS people are apparently in love with drawing diagrams of their theoretical models and I DON'T GET IT!
I'm sure this must be some sort of learning style mis-match thing, but it makes me feel very stupid. I just see boxes and arrows that I can't decipher. What's wrong with just writing about what's going on instead of just drawing a bunch of arrows?
ETA: Also, there are too many acronyms and abbreviations to keep straight. Then even the words don't have meaning. Argh.
ETA2: I forgot about xkcd's Guide to Understanding Flow Charts. I wish the ones in my articles were this simple! Yeah, back to work or whatever.

On a completely unrelated note, I got my friend Sarah hooked on "Skeleton Key." More Margot converts!
