I think it would be interesting to see it attempted by a number of presenters and see if the main point is better conveyed. I was discussing this with a colleague who brought up the need for presenting data that could not be done in 30 pt. font. My belief is that scientific presentations can still be done well without data such as the presentations at the TED conference (there is always Q&A).

The main reason I get bored by a speaker is because he has too many slides and things to say, so the main point is lost. He makes a presentation to satisfy his ego by showing how much work he did, but he forgot the main purpose of a speak, to communicate with the audience and deliver a message. And honestly I never saw anyone using a 30 pt font in a presentation, even for the title. It's already nice when the title fits in one line, especially in Structural Biology.
