If you have complex information it’s important that you don’t over simplify it, instead arrange its design to help user navigate and absorb that information.

Like Andy Rutledge says, people will read through text when it’s presented in a way that makes finding the relevant information easy, the act of reading restful and, of course, that the text is relevant, engaging and clear. No one will read through boring and confusing pieces of text, long or short.

They’re usually wrong on this score. The fact is it doesn’t matter what volume of copy you have if the copy is well designed.
