Not true. I used to hire technical editors/writers, so I should know
what I looked at. And I looked equally upon one or two well-done pages,
either way: it was what the pages _said_ that I paid attention to. "Rule
of thumb" indeed. Who are these rules arbiters? Rhetorical question; I
don't want to know.
