Not a bad idea at all!! However I thought some SD people (Barry Richmond of
Stella, e.g.) were already very good at this kind of explanation and
descriptions (so much so that reading the Stella manual was a real
well-meant advice for people trying to get into SD).

This also reminds me of the pedagogic approach used in introducing vectors
based on simple directional forces, movements and so; or the transition to
abstract linear algebra from "easily-understanded" three-dimensional
geometries. Anything to make people understand and manage complexity should
be recommended though after a while one just can't ignore abstract thought,
for businesses or in academia. Simple otherwise becomes too simplistic,
which is counter-productive.

Best regards
