Side note...

I do spin control for some clients, and one of the things I advise is to NOT throw charts at people, as despite their factual weight and clearness of case, etc...the average person perceives them as chicken scratch, or a foreign language...

Typically, analogies work most of the time, avoiding technobabble.

On this thread...we have analogy after analogy, equation after equation...and the dog is still looking at the finger instead of where its pointing to.
