Oh, now I see -- it is actually a nice feature.

This way, user could read one message using his/her left eye, and the second
message using his/her second eye. After that user would compare the messages if
they are contradictory or complementary (the purpose of the matching could be
explained in the documentation). After several such trials, user could get to
the point it is much more efficient to read screen as a whole, and concurrently
perform string semantic matching. New skill thanks to Okular.

I believe this is on "easy game mode". What about "expert mode"? The third
message could flow from right to left, the fourth from top to bottom, and the
fifth could blink in random places. Now, some messages could be contradictory
and some complementary.

This way okular would force user to:
a) actually read all messages
b) do message comparison
c) marvel complexity of programming (all 5 messages for some lousy error)

I am all for it! The more obstacles, the better. UI should be painful,
otherwise user would not appreciate developers work.
