Well, yes, to the newbie the inverters can be very confusing. Once they build
a couple of things, they then may have the experience to look deeper. Not
everyone jumps into this with the same amount of electronics background. I
feel this is one of the major strengths of BEAM. It affords an opportunity
for ANYONE, no matter background or experience level to participate. Once you
hook them, I'm sure they will advance past the tutorial stage. I would almost
swear that was one of the guiding principles of BEAM. And the reason Mr.
Tilden coined the phrase at that workshop so long ago.
