Hi Dark, Totally agree. Starting off by trying to counter what they may have been told is not the most productive advertising method available. saying, "you probably have been told your computer is just for work but that is a big fat hairy lie," is not the best way at all to get the end user's attention. Something more interesting like, "have you ever wondered about accessible games for the blind and low vision," grabs the end user's attention and is not combative or tries to directly counter what they may have been told about their computer.
I never thought I'd say this but the few communications and marketing classes I had in college really might be useful here. A lot of it is not so much what you say but how you say it, and the attitude you want to pass on to the reader. Everything I have ever read says attacking the reader's beliefs, prejudices, or perceived opinions is a bad tactic. There usually are other ways to slay that dragon without attacking it head on. Cheers!
