It was in some career guidance book.

This sounds like an interesting approach.

We have "lunchtime" technical seminars, and I was thinking about
putting together a 30 minute presentation using parts of the
Ada advocacy package. Unfortunately, there are some slides in
there that could really use backup charts, and I don't see
any references.

For instance, in Charles Engle's presentation, he quotes some
SEI studies, but doesn't provide any background on what criteria
was used, or how certain "software attributes" were selected.
