I find it interesting that the deck that mentions the 10/20/30 rule has 30 slides. But then when you think about Framing slides, maybe it was only 20 content slides. Still a useful reminder that dense reading is best on paper or personal device not on an overhead community shared experience.

Sorry, but telling people to limit the number of slides they use will not make them create visual slides. It will encourage them to fit more text onto the slide so they make the 10 slide limit. You can fit a lot of text on a slide using 30 font. Believe me.
