Eliminating extraneous load — the complexity that comes from presentation rather than content — is the highest-leverage move in any teaching or communication context. The same content can feel dramatically easier or harder based purely on how it's structured: clear thesis sentences versus meandering context, direct sparse prompts versus hedged ones, worked examples before problems. You rarely need to simplify the material; you need to remove the noise around it.
