I'm glad I managed to vent my frustration in this area in a way that was 
helpful.  Just recognize that any experienced person at pitching 
software solutions will tell you to never wander down this path at all. 
  If you have to tell someone a story and make them admit they're wrong 
about something as an early step toward adoption, you've just dumped a 
home-made FUD bomb on them.  It's not a high percentage path toward 
credibility.
