So whenever I find myself taking notes/making an outline of a scientific paper, reference article or book chapter, I always think to myself that life would be so much easier if the author just published his notes directly. Seriously, the worst part of writing is taking your notes and putting them in paragraph form, and the worst part of reading is taking the paragraphs and boiling them down to the important bullet points. So we really should just skip that whole middle step of pretty-looking paragraphs and just exchange the bullet-point outlines, from author to reader.
