Entertainers do favor this style, but the style favors more than
entertainers.
In one of the better small-room (< 100 people) talks I have seen, the
speaker put up a table, about six columns and six rows, with row and
column headers and each box containing one or two text words, and
proceeded to talk about it for 20 minutes. Far from not giving you any
hooks to hang your memories on, the table was exactly what you needed to
carry away. And, of course, since you can't stare at a table for 20
minutes, most of the time was spent watching and actually listening to
the speaker. ;-}
