> People using JS regularly should be able to separate out TS noise, and asking the world to avoid TS for _every_ piece of knowledge content sounds like hyperbole.

I have worked with junior developers who struggle with this. I am not suggesting that all knowledge has to avoid TS, only that which isn't related to it. People who are new to the language want and need to learn _actual_ JS.

It's easy to not see this as a problem when you already know TS. Yes, it is clear what TS is once you know it. Imagine not knowing TS or the concept you are trying to learn about. What part of this is TS? What part of it is the information I am trying to find?

> Then why include it in your argument?

I was simply illustrating that there can be a tendency to assume knowledge which isn't relevant to the problem being solved.
