I disagree with this. I'm just starting down the road of graphics
programming. This package sounds very useful, and I would not have
known that without seeing a description of what a scene graph is.
In other words, I didn't know the term "scene graph" yet, but I do
want what this package does, and I would never have known that if the
description had only said "this package does scene graphs" or something
along those lines.
