Try it and see if Im wrong. And the expansion is endless. A simplified, plane language version of the book would be with out end. Upon completion there would be no ink left in the world. Ink would be worth more than oil, gold or diamonds. Al Gore would do a movie on ink and claim he knew Homer back in the 80's.

The book IS very dense, very to the point. I could almost see the expansion as "chapter and verse" with expert commentary. Again, I have this sort of Biblical translation idea in my head. Like Homer's work is in King James and I'm looking for an NIV or New American Standard language version. For those really familiar, I'm thinking Life Application Bible with the verses at the top of the page and expanded commentary and diagrams at the bottom.
As said earlier, this is probably better suited to some type of wiki hyperlinking. The book itself was meant to be more reference and "look up" oriented if I understand correctly.
Just think, we'll all have our smart phones out on every shot to look up the right pattern for that particular shot!
