I like the "bottom up" approach as well (and in fact, I gave a similarly structured talk to some computer scientists a month or two ago). But I have seen some comments from some users that imply to me they prefer a "top down" approach.

So I'm curious: did you write this to show to some specific audience, and if so, how did the audience receive it? IOW, did they like the "bottom up" technique?
