Designing for iPad: Reality Check
What part of the quote are you having trouble understanding, sir?

I think that it would be clearer if there were some examples of nested metaphors or metaphors that 'darken' other metaphors. Maybe there is in the actual text, but the quote out of context seems a little abstract.

Indeed, there are plenty of examples in the text. I didn't think it necessary to paste the entire article in the comment box.
We'll have to agree to disagree.

He didn't say an example was necessary, he said it could have made the quote clearer.
