Abstracts are good enough for me

Abstract+conclusions is the sweet spot.

This makes me think that given some particular article, the only people that would ever read it in its entirety are its authors and (maybe) a couple reviewers.

My preferred reading order: Abstract > conclusion > results > discussion / analysis > methods > background > introduction

This is the way. This is the way of light and goodness.
