The whole point is that to create the demo in the first place someone has to approve it, so if they cannot understand the thing then it doesn't get approved.

> Well yeah - if someone stood up in a management meeting and told me to think about what I might do with an avatar, my first thought would be "What's an avatar" and my second thought would be "I'm already busy with other things". He hasn't said what an avatar is or why anyone should care about them. So people pay no attention

> And maybe the thing you're trying to communicate is so novel that you can't establish context or convince people to care without showing them a demo. But at least take the time to understand why you can't tell people about it

Forget novel ideas, even relatively simple ideas within your domain are hard to communicate to other people especially if they are outside your domain.

Add people being busy and you having limited time to explain things on top of that and it becomes extremely difficult to get anything done unless someone trusts you and does not require a full explanation.

Stack ambiguity on top of that (E.g. "we think there's something here but can't pinpoint it) and there's a 0% chance of it happening.

I'm surprised this guy's management actually let him build the thing given the way he recounts how things went down.
