Different off-put modes. Off-put if you think a bad presentation is 
boring; off-put if all the presentations are brilliant and a youngster 
thinks, 'I could never compete with that'.

If you are bored, you can leave and little harm is done, but if a 
youngster leaves, crestfallen, the IEEE loses something.
