Presentations should be presentations and handouts should be handouts is a really nice idea for many circumstances. And utterly impractical for many of those circumstances. Even getting decent speaker notes into a presentation is often tough to get people to do.<p>(One of) the problems is that if you&#x27;re asking me to do a presentation, you&#x27;re now also asking me to create a second document. It&#x27;s not actually all that difficult (and I&#x27;ve done it) but it does take an extra piece of work--which might take a day or two--which goes beyond the initial scope.
