I like the other points, but I would have to say that I disagree with this one. You have to think about a presentation as an outline of what you're really going to talk about. It's there to keep you on topic and to give the audience a little bit of a direction of where you're going (so they don't get surprised and confused). Bullets are better here than full text - people read full text but scan bullets.
