I'm not sure this is the same issue, but I had an
argument with
someone who
wanted to include some loosely related material
because it
"related [the
subject] to people's lives". Frankly I
don't think we need to
"sell" a
topic to the audience. People look up articles in an
encyclopedia because
they are already interested in the subject, it's
not like a
magazine where
you come across the topic randomly.
