I can see it now, RP's explaining OpenID:

"Click here to have Yahoo! tell us which of their accounts you are 
logged into . . . "
(and then)
"Actually, it's a bit more complicated than that. The short version 
is that we think you users are stupid, so you can't HANDLE the truth! 
That's why we NEED a short version. If you think you're up to it, 
click [here] for the full story."
