Word MVP John Nurick once had this slightly tongue-in-cheek point in respect
of deeply nested headings.

========================
In my experience, writers who believe they need more than 6 levels of
headings usually need counselling, sometimes even psychiatric treatment (I
usually prescribe proseroxatimephinine lithioid oxaloacetatate 40mg/day, but
YMMV).

In any case, scientific research (Goldblatt & Heyhoe, 1968) shows that
university-educated readers exposed to documents with more than 7 levels of
headings for more than 37 minutes per day over a five-week period experience
lasting depression of actinic activity in the antihypothalamiserotinic
syntagmic nexus.
========================
