Actually, Jason, I don't think that makes you a hypocrite at all. I think it's a terrific rhetorical strategy, and one that I've used to great benefit. A bit more about this strategy is explored in my essay, "Dialectics and The Art of Fiction."

Briefly, if we don't take into account the context of our audience (their interests, perspectives, and level of knowledge), we'll forever be doomed in our "reach-out" efforts.
