Hi Lynne,
Normal people are perfectly capable of working with Nodes and Leaves.
They're usually not dumber than we are. If this is the first time they're
going to encounter a directory tree, introduce them to the concept. If
required, use an illustration with callouts (this is a node, this is a leaf,
this is Adam's stuff behind the leaf).
