Efficient State Machine Design

How confusing pages 10 & 11 are is somewhat subjective. Both appear pretty clear to me - if (perhaps) formatted a little strangely for the purposes of publication.

Not worrying about one-hot encoding.... hmm

Yes, FPGA processes are faster allowing faster clock speeds. However, that simply pushes what is achievable. To say that you need not worry about one-hot encoding is entirely dependant on what you're trying to achieve. One-hot encoding is a technique that will remain in my tool box.
