I agree with your observations on M&M.
However they did carry the themes of their titles through to the workshops. For instance on the Fibonacci workshops he tried to relate Fibonacci's theory of number progression and increasing sizes of spiral with drawings to the Tango workshop he was teaching. He also used a number of other visualisations in other workshops.
Generally when talking with people afterwards what seemed interesting to me was that the ladies found a number of his visualisation ideas very helpful but the men were a bit switched off. I have to say that I was a bit switched off but after speaking with the ladies I tried to open my mind a bit more and with hindsight I think they they have helped.
