sometimes in programing language design, you know something you don't like, but can't explain it well. Only years after, you found the exact reason, able to explain it as logic, and to have short describtive phrase, that when people hear, they go ah. A name for a thing/concept, or descriptive phrase, is very powerful. When you don't have it, you mumble and people don't buy it. When you have it, sometimes it can even help falsity. For this reason, many cults, are full of jargons, unix hacker cult, perl, scientology, sjw.

major update. here's 2 different web design of navigation panel. The 1 with scroll bar is better. because, if not, when doc is long, the left side is blank, and needs to scroll all the way to the top to use it.
