You simply CAN'T explain technical issues to people like that without getting a 'thousand yard stare' and a glazed expression while their brain flutters off to warmer climes. Unless you're in golden handcuffs, or in the middle of a recession, my advice is vote with your feet.
But then I've been pretty much bankrupt on a few occasions so maybe I'm used to it.
