When I had consulting training (circa 2004), we were taught to create slides in font sizes larger than 18-point ... with 16-point only if necessary ... because business executives don't read documents in dozens of pages.

It's not just having the message, but getting the message across that counts. The content is relevant to me, but I find the medium even more interesting.
