If one can simply explain to others what is before them, so that they can quickly understand its purposes, scope, architecture, limitations, alternatives, and such, then others can quickly evaluate what it is, and whether such seems like a good idea. It doesn't necessarily mean they buy it any quicker. Sometimes it just means it gets shot down quicker ;). That's ok. There's a _lot_ of stuff that flows by here ... be gentle and helpfully informative to the poor reader ... as best you can. -- I won't rest till it's the best ...
