I really appreciate the spirit of this idea. Humanizing information is essential for learning and idea sharing.
I think the academic community could benefit greatly from this concept. Formal academic papers are confusing, but not without reason...they are standalone essays or dissertations that seek to persuade readers of a thesis based on all the evidence that an author can squeeze into a single publication. While it is understandable that these documents are long and complex, it makes it all the more difficult for less-specialized readers to consume and leverage this valuable, innovative information.
I would love to have a tool like this in the top corner of a digital academic library. Maybe instead of tldr <-> detail, a bar like this: layman <-> expert.
