To quote from that article: "this rule is applicable for any presentation to reach agreement" And that's exactly it. This seemed like a talk people attended because it sounded interesting or insightful (and I found very interesting indeed) and not a pitch. Especially technical talks (and let's be generous and file it as technical under entrepreneurship, but much more so about programming/etc topics) aren't bad just because of an abundance of slides. To the contrary, I very much appreciate elaborate slides on slideshare/etc so I can get something out of the talk without having attended.
