I have found that trying to explain the value of true notation to people who lack the experience and training is always a losing proposition.  I'm already regretting having started this thread, simply because I know how this works.


Reminds me of the "you can't tell people anything," post:

    http://habitatchronicles.com/2004/04/you-cant-tell-people-anything/

    "What’s going on is that without some kind of direct experience to use as a
    touchstone, people don’t have the context that gives them a place in their
    minds to put the things you are telling them."


I found the thread interesting despite the many "how to type it?" replies. Don't be too discouraged.
