Doesn't mean (s)he is articulate enough to explain them in his own words 
without help, AND familiar enough with Powerpoint or OpenOffice to drive 
them effectively, AND has an artistic flair to make the slides not suck, 
AND has the time to do all these things.

Asking for a good presentation is no worse than asking for a good code 
library. Maybe Krypto is like some actors or professional Masters of 
Ceremonies: excellent at giving the speech, lousy at writing it.
