On the Curse of Knowledge and the need for a glossary
Smolek has created a glossary of terms and abbreviations that may appear in the company’s communication. Although everyone who writes for Smoltek does their best to explain in layman’s words, technical terms inevitably creep into the text and make it difficult to read. This is due to a cognitive bias known as the Curse of Knowledge. This is the subject of this column, published on the spookiest day of them all – Halloween.
