I have ADHD, and also find EY's writing to be more engaging.

EDIT: Part of the problem with lukeprogs "more skimmable style" is that it is actually possible to skim and sortof get away with it, whereas in EY's "more narrative style", you lose the narrative flow if you start skipping, so there is a higher apparent cost to not paying attention. Hence I remain engaged with EY's writing, and start skipping things in luke's.
