Look, this argument is silly. If you spend some time on examples and
then present the general concepts, everyone will be happy, though if
there are indeed any ``D-type'' people then they won't get anything out
of the examples. If you *don't* present examples, you'll be screwing
over all ``I-type'' people. So use examples.

This discussion is no longer relevant to C.
