Maybe you can explain it to them this way - if they know what a function is. If you have a function that does something, foo, and it takes one boolean parameter, that's two test cases. If you add a second boolean parameter, now you have at least four total test cases. And so on.

Ah yes, give it to them in functions and boolean parameters, that will get the non-programmers on board. /s

My house has a vacuum, a lawnmower, a blender, a washing machine, 20 light switches, a 4 zone heating system, and 6 sinks/showers. I can manage 1.71e10 possible states while I sleep, why are you struggling with four?
