Hmm, seems counterintuitive until you spell it out. What if the description of the idea even has an asset that brings more clarity than my words ever could? Eg: How to start a movement.

one thing I can think of that you didn't mention is if you're trying to persuade someone of something, you can borrowing the credibility of someone important by quoting them. I like your advice - we should do this more - but i'm not sure it's generally applicable to all scenarios

Quoting and attribution: Sometimes it's polite, sometimes it's flattery! Sometimes it separates "I believe" from "they believe", but often it's intellectual insecurity / cowardice. Telling the difference is important. Most people in the blogosphere over-attribute.
