Well that's the point! It takes a good teacher to adjust to
the right level. I certainly would expect to be able to give
a non-programming person an understanding of what COBOL is
all about. In fact if you act as an expert witness with a
jury, you are most definitely expected to be able to do this.
It is not easy, teaching like anything else is an expertise
where the experts can amaze you :-)
