It's a double myth, in that many try to suggest that a person has a
single style (untrue), or that a single style is relevant in a
particular context, when it should be that sometime individuals fail to
learn (a particular item) when not provided with a particular style that
would suit them in the moment. I.e the removal of a particular format
(e.g. no visuals) will reduce the effectiveness of the manual (excepting
the 'The pictures are better on radio' aphorism ;-).
