That makes sense to me.

Personally, I love all of our simple (relatively) graphical demonstrations. Those really sink in for me and are much easier to remember than most other explanations, but I had a friend in grad school who got nothing out of them. She was really bright and I couldn't believe that our beautiful graphs and curves were lost on her. She immediately understood the equations, though. Different strokes.

There are a few problems I have with making the subject overly mathematical, but as long as it's clear that we're just talking about one of many possible functional forms that share certain properties, there are some students who get the most out of that.
