I total agree on this and adopting this into how we market KDE is important.
From this, people don't care how it works, but what they get out of it.

I'll put this into the situation with the KDE homepage (
http://kde.org/whatiskde/). Throughout the whole document, I counted over 16
"UNIX"s.

Saying technical phrases is not much help - but it tries to address what
UNIX means for a user. The description isn't useful ("When it comes to
stability, scalability and openness there is no competition to UNIX"). Here
it still doesn't mean much, these words are a glimpse of what UNIX means to
a person. I will finish off, as I am rambling on - addressing  points that a
person can understand , and can relate to their self is beneficial. A
statement could be UNIX provides a safe environment for you to work in and
is the solid foundation for KDE to work on. -This is one point and UNIX
means more - just putting it into context...

The situation is we mix up who we are targetting and it isn't clear whether
we are attracting people from Windows / Mac OS X (etc.) directly to KDE; or
whether we are attracting people from Gnome to KDE; or both at the same
time.

Until we get people marketing KDE directly to people, the current way we are
marketing is to attract users who have heard or using Linux, Gnome, KDE.
