You didn't read. It takes me four complete rewrites of the *table of

They may be *too* expert. That's often the problem. They already know it 
all, so they can't easily put it down in an order that assumes you don't.

All the more reason to give it a go, yes? :-)  Just try to figure out what 
order to introduce the concepts. Don't fear splitting up a concept into 
smaller chunks that make sense in order.
