  There is no need to be silly. Everybody is `dyslexic' when faced with a very
light(1) very compressed small type font over an ornamented background on
highly glossy paper reflecting bright patches like a mirror from every light
bulb and/or brightly lit window in the room. Why can't Aquacorps etc use
ordinary scientific article type font on ordinary scientific article type
paper? On such cheaper paper they could use larger bolder type and print the
same text clearer for the same expense and sell it for the same cost.
  (1) Or whatever the opposite to `boldface' is, if there are any printers out
there.
