> It's not the tool, it's the presenter

That's true, but it's also how much time the presenter had to put the presentation together. Was he already 6 weeks behind on a dozen (meaningless) deadlines when he found out he had to give a presentation tomorrow morning at 8 AM?

Assuming we are talking about boring slides with just a few bullet points, then 99% of work is actually creating the (text of the) presentation. Creating boring slides can be done in a few minutes.

Most time when I see a wrong and overful slide deck, people don't actually have any idea what they want to say. They just dumped some information in the slides that might be handy.
