Robin, I think people tend to be enthusiastic when an idea they've known on a more or less intuitive level for a long time is laid out eloquently, and in a way they could see relaying to their particular audience. It's a form of relief, maybe.
So it's not so much "I like it because I agree with it," it's more "I like it because I knew it before but I could never explain it that well."
