Well, yeah, when I stop reading to look something up I've stopped reading. I can't disagree. I'm not sure that saying the focus of the design should be on reading is the same thing as saying they shouldn't consider anything else. And I'm not convinced that looking things up isn't part of reading, at least for me.
Things tend not to be that black and white. It's entirely possible to focus on something and still deal with the things around that something. A gun designer can focus on creating an accurate and deadly weapon and still make it comfortable to hold.
But I do thank you for trying to find a bit of hypocrisy. I never know when some of that might sneak in and it's good to have help avoiding it.
