You can always say that and link to the relevant documentation.

You can also visualize the affect their participation in the network 
has, inherently addressing this issue as a result.

Hopefully by being informed (:

The most common usability assumption is that complication and complexity 
are the same.  This becomes an issue when it drives designations and 
people have their choices made for them, usually in an attempt to make 
things less complex, when it is complication that is the real issue.

Resulting examples are browser windows that decide what size they want 
to be, ignoring people input.

Wordlife,
Spencer
