You paid for the right to knock, and the vendor decided what you got to see. The manual described the door. It never described the hinges.</p> <p>That world is over. The door turned out to be readable.</p> <p>A note on the writing: the technical sections follow Simplified Technical English, the writing rules from ASD-STE100, one idea per sentence, active voice, no sentence over twenty words. The narrative sections do not follow those rules. The split is deliberate. The thesis of this post is that legible things can be owned, and writing is software too.</p>
