On a similar note, Robert Krulwich, one of the hosts of RadioLab on NPR gave a commencement speech at California Institute of Technology called “Tell Me a Story.”
It's a great reminder that we all learn through stories, and that stories are really the only way to convey complex ideas to the general public. Not telling these stories, because we think they won't get it, harms everyone and creates a vacuum of truth where more appealing unscientific stories then dominate.
