I don't like the idea of dumbing down
a class or instructional video to the lowest common dominator of it's
students intelligence level.

I don't like the idea of dumbing it down too much either. There's plenty of
shows that do that already ~ shows that with a budget of .69 cents and some
decorative flair, anyone can drastically improve their home.

But, I do watch for two things. The first is the new idea, technique or tool
that I haven't seen before. And the second reason I watch is to get an idea
for building something. I'm certainly not the greatest woodworker out there,
but if I see some project I like, I'm advanced enough that I can usually run
with it and build my own modified version.
