For what it's worth, people will often express concepts using
abstractions which make sense to them but not to others.

For example, I remember when I was in high school -- I liked physics,
calculus and trigonometry, but disliked geometry. This was largely due
to the treatments I had been exposed to, and not really a reflection
of the subjects themselves.  Still, it influenced my choices and my
education.

Anyways... generally speaking, if we want to appeal to people who have
a dislike for some abstraction, that means we need to set out to
appeal to what they like, and maybe occasionally help them through the
obstacles which bother them.
