While I was working with a team of IT people, I took in a piece of torchon (a bookmark, I think), to show. All the women admired how pretty it was, but one of the men said "It's like plaiting - only more so - I used to plait my sister's hair!" He had seen through to the process, where the women had only seen the finished article. So although we were all IT-minded, there was a difference between the sexes. Interesting.
