How exactly is it outrageous? You are there to deliver the message in a meaningful way, not to recite such message from memory. This is no theater or the cinema where you are playing a role and must be entirely authentic as a result.

Sure, literally reading entire thing from your notes in front of your audience is bad form as it fails to build the captivating presentation. It is just distracting for those listening.

But damn if this cannot ever work for the online presentation where the speaker isn't visible.
