> "Contains natural enzymes" to "The detergent has enzymes. Grains made of alcalase and esperase protein molecules are dissolved in the detergent, thereby making clothes cleaner." I think the latter is a less complete explanation, in that it introduces concepts without explaining them. What are alcalase and esperase, specifically? These are unfamiliar terms to me, what do they refer to? How do they differ? And how exactly do enzymes make clothes cleaner, anyway? I find this explanation annoying and dissatisfying, because it's a specious explanation, and doesn't actually explain anything. It raises more questions than it answers. The former "explanation" is complete, because it's just a claim. It doesn't even attempt to explain. Of course, you can always request a deeper explanation (just respond "why?"), but one can work within a level of abstraction, which can be more-or-less complete and self-consistent within its terms. A gross example is sociology vs psychology vs biology vs. chemistry vs physics vs http://xkcd.com/435/ http://xkcd.com/435/ To introduce new terms without explanation or definition is incomplete.
