Wow.

Some quibbles:

- The dialog says "web pages are outlines in disguise." This is a complete
fail in terms of meaning.
  The original Aha was that *web**s* (that is Knuth's WEB source code) are
outlines in disguise.
- Multiple views of code come from clones, not detached body panes.
- The dialog makes a hash of @clean vs @file.
- The dialog is way too vague about Leo's scripting api.

These quibbles aside, this dialog might be a better intro than any I've
ever written.

I'm uneasy though:

- Isn't there a bit of sexism in the video? The male schooling the female?
- There is a breathless quality to the video. I wonder what this technology
would do with the average conspiracy theory.
