That's very true.  I single out PowerPoint for special criticism because, of
all the tools commonly used in modern business, it alone continues to
facilitate the same weak verbal and spatial reasoning in an environment which
badly needs to encourage analytic thought.  (Don't even get me started on the
disturbing introduction of PowerPoint into schools!)
