When I first ate a chicken chop suey, in my childhood, the dish was described and explained to me to help me decide whether or not I wanted to try it. But once I have tried and decided about chicken chop suey, I could make an educated guess what beef chop suey and vegetable chop suey would be (as I already knew abouty beef and veg), so I really didn't need any further explanation - indeed, it would have been a waste of everyone's time to do the explaining.

It's a little bit the same on training courses. I'm running a Perl course this week, and I'm making sure that I explain one of each type of facility, with good practical sessions, before I go on to the next type of facility / concept. Once we've see a function such as cos to take a cosine, it's pretty obvious what sin and exp do. In other words, my delegates know what chicken curry is (I have told them) and they know from school what mushrooms are. So I'm letting them work out mushroom curry for themselves, and going on to talk about Nasi Goreng.
