I do that to my wife all the time. She's non-technical, but she'll sit and listen to
me drone on about electronics or programming projects, she'll sit and watch me draw
elaborate diagrams on paper
napkins at the spur of the moment, all without saying much of anything except
"mmm-hmm" when she feels it's appropriate. It sure helps me figure things out
sometimes, even though she provides no
input. Then again, I'm sure she's afraid to ask me to elaborate on any points she
doesn't comprehend.
