Oh, hey -- you're that guy. I learned a lot of what I know about TLA from your writings ^_^

Consider my behavior changed. I thought the "high school math" was an encouraging way to sell it (i.e. "if you can get past the syntax and new way of thinking, the 'math' is ultimately straight forward"), but I can see your point, and how the perception would be poor when they hit that initial wall.
