What the site needs is a de-boldify button that takes the bold away. Only veteran users would ever find such a thing, but those are the users that are most likely to want to read every single word of Nielsen's peerless prose, anyway.

Looks like it's a simple matter of adding:

    .maintext strong {
       font-weight: normal;
    }

to the page CSS. Any Greasemonkey hackers in the house?

Of course, once you press the button you are committing to actually reading the whole article. Don't blame me if you find that you unconsciously preferred the skimmable version.
