Not at all. A friend of mine used to say "Talking about music is like dancing about architecture" - sometimes, talking about matters technical can be like that. It's generally difficult to explain programming matters to a non-programmer.

I often find myself in the role of 'translator' for my team, and as I've probably said elsewhere, I tend to analogise at every opportunity - using cars generally - "We've got the whole engine built, but are waiting for the body to be finished so we can bolt it in..." - they may go away shaking their heads, but at least they think they understand :)

Cheers,
Ben.
