Robin Szemeti [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] quoth:

I know at least 2 nobel laureates who wouldn't know jack about CGI or
about selecting which book might be a better buy. Hell, I installed
Microsoft BOB for one of them way back when the GUI of windows vs. the
beauty of TeX was a bit much. Something new is a challenge, even if you
are a rocket scientist.
It's not a matter of pandering to the stupid, it's a matter of presenting
the information in a format that is easy to read and understand without
treating the reader to sanskrit.
Of course, even the brilliant are often stupid especially when it comes to
applied v. theory.
The great unwashed masses of CGI are probably not the brightest bulbs, but
I don't think it's so much an esoteric subject to justify such a dearth in
good documentation for them.
