Superficiality in Presentations

Have you noticed any substance abuse in presentations - in the sense that we either offer too little substance, fearing that our listeners are overwhelmed … or we offer too much, fearing that our listeners might feel cheated if there was not enough volume. In either case, the effect of superficial presentations is soporiphic on both the audience and the presenter.
I've recently updated an article I wrote on superficiality in the context of e-learning. However, the principles and premise are very similar when looking at presentations.
