I enjoyed this for the most part and even learned a little. But it started out very simple terms and really appealing to the common folk. But then about halfway through the tone changed completely and was a real turn off to me. It's silly but this "If you paid attention in your information theory class" was the spark for me. I didn't take any information theory classes, why would I have paid attention? I don't necessarily think it was condescending, but maybe, it's just that the consistency of the writing changed dramatically.

Anyway super interesting subject.
