There’s got to be a WMD hiding in there somewhere.

I like the headline the WSJ had for this a week ago:
"We have met the enemy - and he is PowerPoint."

I don't think it's PowerPoint as such that's the problem. It's trying to use it to do things incorrectly. Busy slides, slides with huge amounts of data (without context, usually), slides with stupid graphics, these are all bad things to do for any presentation. That spiderweb of stupidity called the "COIN Dynamics" is at least 3 levels of complexity too detailed. You cannot get a truly "big picture" into a PP slide. Period. But you CAN put so much stuff in a slide that it turns into gibberish.
My presentations were always support for what I had to say. They had key terms, simple bullet points that I would verbally expound on, and only really important details were quoted verbatim. I would put regulatory references, specific chapter and paragraph citations, and other truly critical data on the slide, but otherwise I'd paraphrase and simplify. My slides were intended to help my students remember and process what I talked about, not to "wow 'em" with my graphix skilzors.
