Something like that :-)  We want to show people that *all* of Leo's central 
ideas are, in fact, quite simple.  We want to present those central ideas 
*clearly*, with no extraneous ideas. We don't want to freak people out.

This might work.  I hadn't thought of this.  "The less said the better" 
applies to all aspects of Leo's documentation, not just the scripting
