"Admitting" that our main competitor is a paper encyclopedia with over
a century of brand leadership is good.  It shows the potential reader
that we're aiming high but are aware that we have a way to go.

I also like the bit about being cheaper than the Encyclopedia
Galactica and having the words "Don't Panic" in large, friendly
letters on the cover.
