Again, my opinion, but one of the greatest dangers (mentioned above) is someone who knows the subject so well it can be dificult to empathize with a person struggling with basic stuff and getting a MEGO. As a example (and I'm NOT picking on anyone here)

Should be very easy to explain if you agree on the definition of „intercept“:
y- intercept = value of y at x=0, which of course is y-intercept=m*0 +b = b
x-intercept = value of x at y=0, which is 0=m*x-intercept+b, or x-intercept = -b/m

Show that in print to a neophyte and heads, or at least eyes, will roll. Not that it is wrong (looks right to me). But it's unreadable. It makes my own eyes hurt even while agreeing.
