I heartily agree. If you can't (or won't) explain the main
architecture, UI design and every bit of exposed functionality to
*any* non-programmer in their native language and in simple, easy-to-
grasp concepts, you either have a serious design problem or you need
to hire someone with better language skills.
Personally, I think that a project that can't be explained to mere
mortals without a PowerPoint deck and UML diagrams is doomed to
failure from the start.
