No.. no... (btw... Good morning!). Old Dingley is quite serious
and he means "really read" and this implies trying reasonably
hard to understand what is being said and picking up extra stuff
from 'between the lines' and the statistics. It is a complicated
business.
Reading between the lines and what I am calling the statistics is
to do with gathering info from the fact that a whole bunch of
obviously intelligent folk are giving similar messages (like that
a page is too crowded or the colours are too lurid or whatever).
There are subtler things too. I cannot teach you about earthlings
now, I have made a deep study of these curious creatures...
