Less IS more. It's true. While users can be quite good at multi-tasking, when it comes to reading, concentration is key to retention. And even if the eye can "see it all" it really pays to edit what is seen, so that the user can quickly discern what to read (scanning) and what to pass on, so that they may quickly get through all the content they want. It's no wonder that in web design, there is a beauty in simplicity; the challenge is to make it simple enough to be efficient and user friendly, but not so simplistic it comes off as mediocre or boring.
