I haven't seen the associated talk, but (a) I would imagine the author chuckled while reading this, because it's sort of a joke among scholars, and (b) the point is likely focused much more on the context of presenting research (e.g., at conferences) rather than a blanket ironclad rule for all presentations you ever make ever.

While I think there's some validity to your point that the author's presentation suffers excess verbosity, I'm not too worried about it because the linked slides seem more meant to act as a reference document than an example of a good presentation, and the level of text is just fine for that purpose.

Yeah I’m the author, this was a joke. I also wanted to convey to the students in the room that this was not a high quality presentation, more so text just converted into presentation form.

Seemed pretty clear to me, for what it's worth, but perhaps it is less obvious to those not steeped in similar traditions of academia.

Thanks for this, by the way! It's a lovely resource!
