Named limits are about means, not about viewers: the medium shows only in monochrome or simple outlines; colouring by hand is tedious and costly; existing colour processes lack some natural colours (from his own observation); refined stories need better drawing and figure skill; and some subject matter cannot be photographed, so diagrams must be substituted. He also states the premise 'all brains function in a similar way' as an assumption behind his case. He does not name comprehension failures (overload, speed, misread titles), cost figures for educational films, audience testing or teacher uptake: in Lutz's text of chapter XI the stems fail, mistake, confus*, overload, test, audience, attention, memory and retain have 0 hits (bounded scan).
