Hi Nick.
I don't think you need to concentrate on the intelligent people. All you need there is data to support your claims.
Unfortunately, the unintelligent won't likely respond to reason. I have found that tracing the lines of desire and self-interest are the best ways to winning people to your side in that instance.
I think your newsletter idea is a good one, and I will be glad to read it (I think it was grass stems, not sticks, that chimps used to extract ants from their hill, by the way).
I think that addressing self-empowerment and cost-saving issues might get the attention of practical readers who are likely to put into practice things they learn.
Please let us know how it goes. Good luck.
