The idea that hypertext is somehow more natural or more intuitive than linear text assumes a structural correspondence between networked information in a person's long-term memory and the presentation of information in hypertext network.
This assumption contradicts some important, long-standing psychological findings about the organization of information in memory and the process by which new information is acquired. ... there is no evidence that readers can grasp information more easily or more fully when it is presented in a network rather than in hierarchical and linear form.
