I got it too. I think the thing I find most interesting about it is how
someone has managed to set up a "technique" they're marketing that's simple
best practices. The pamphlet is a bit like a cheat sheet for the non-writer.
In that regard, it's a good idea. Their technique is a larger version of the
same best practices. All in all, more power to them if they can help
increase usability.
