Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Simplifying concepts beyond what is strictly accurate makes them easier to learn. This concept originates from Dante Alighieri's work, which in turn references Aristotle's observation that examples are not always the foundation of an argument. Simplifying beyond truth can be useful in the initial stages of learning something, allowing for learning complex concepts turn-by-turn.
