@sil some of the most interesting talks i've seen were given badly - no clear story, cluttered slides, etc. but they were talking about something interesting. this isn't to say that you should try to give bad talks. but that "having something to say" is always more important.

@sil also that there are two levels of prep that work for me: knowing the subject & having a scaffolding to talk from, these points in this order, with some looseness to it. and having a script that i have rehearsed enough that the looseness comes back into it.
