Why would “cognitively taxing” and “attention demanding” be criteria for an intellectually superior experience?

Many concepts are simply better described by a visual demonstration. There’s less communicative barriers that way. Just observe the cause and effect. You could be illiterate and still understand a visual demonstration.

My three year understands engineering concepts from goofy YouTube videos. He doesn’t read.

Is all of this proclamation about books being the superior format just akin to old-timers screaming “back in my day we listened to great music, not like this crap nowadays!”?
