I do love Wikipedia for it's sometimes "at a glance" or "simplified" sections and then proceeds to show some maths or diagram that looks like it requires at least one degree to fully understand

@eta A lot of RF stuff does end up looking like " rotate the flobulator by 10° towards centuria and unspiral the output " yeah

@benjojo some are also badly done and thus even more confusing than they have to be, e.g. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JIS_and_Shift-JIS_variants.svg

@benjojo "at a glance" doesn’t imply that it’s simple to understand, it just means that you can see the whole scope at once (i.e. "at a [single] glance")
