Somethings can only be dummed-down so far...

Sometimes things cannot be oversimplified or all the
value of the data is lost.     For example the weather..
We can dumb-down a description of the wwather to 
the average temeprature over a year.  Hummh..
a nice 55 degrees F.  Not bad.  But this misses the
peaks of 104F and the cold of -10F and the storms
and the dryness and the ice and the floods and so
forth...

Analyzing the financial health of an entity is not something
that a "casual reading" should be expected to give.  Its
that kind of dumbing down of everything that causes the
real value of the data to be lost.
