@paulg but this reflects a basic, deep asymmetry - entrepreneurs aren't trying to convey information, they are trying to persuade. -
@GordonBrianR Sexy works when pros are trying to persuade amateurs, but not when amateurs are trying to persuade pros. -
@paulg agreed. When attempts at persuasion/argument start emphasizing form over substance, things can go bad. -
@GordonBrianR@paulg Sexy is a hallmark of bubble tops as well. I've noticed much more sizzle than steak the last couple of years... -
