I also hate slide decks that do that. I literally went through this one left to right and thought "wow, that was a really high level overview". Only then I realized I had to hit down some of the time.

(And the "you idiot, you weren't using the correct navigation keys" is not a particularly satisfying answer, I navigated with left and right arrows the way I have always navigated slides for years.)

That strikes me as kinda neat, actually -- is that not the purpose of putting the slides in this order? It's a shortcut to just the topic slides, so you can skim through them even faster and only dig in once you want to.
