But that "explaination" doesn't really mean much to most people. It says words but does not say why they are bad.

It tells you exactly what is going on. It's up to people to decide for themselves if that's bad or not. I can't see any way to understand WEI going by the metaphore of buying newspapers. How does that explain anything?

It tells me what's going on, which is useless because I already knew whats going on. It does not tell anyone who actually needs to be told whats going on.
