I disagree with this. I'm just starting down the road of graphics programming. This package sounds very useful, and I would not have known that without seeing a description of what a scene graph is. In other words, I didn't know the term "scene graph" yet, but I do want what this package does, and I would never have known that if the description had only said "this package does scene graphs" or something along those lines.
