That is a very good approach imo. It takes into account a very basic truth: As an engineer or scientist, you really do not know how to explain technical stuff to a judge with whom you have very few common professional points of reference. It is the patent attorney's job to translate engineering lingo into something a brain subjected to years of legalese can comprehend or at least handle sufficiently well to make a reasonable decision.
