When people try to get their point across by preaching during a powerpoint it can make the presentation annoyingly ineffective. For example, when a person tries to plant a specific train of thought in your head. Let me explain, say someone is giving a presentation on women's bathing suits and how they have evolved of the years. They should not say, "Now a days if you had the choice between an itty-bitty bikini or a conservative one-piece you would pick the bikini." First of all, who does this presenter think they are? They don't know what you like, you could want a one-piece or maybe you don't want either, maybe you want something in between the bikini and the one-piece. As a presenter one must not preach. (Ah see I put "one must not preach" not you must not preach)
Also, if a presenter doesn't prepare it can make the powerpoint boring causing minds to drift and to wonder. Practice makes perfect. If they are not prepared the powerpoint could be bland when it should be colorful and entertaining, for the most part. If the power-point's color scheme is grey, white and black (and those colors aren't relevant to the presentation) they shouldn't use those colors. Use colors that are related to the topic you are talking about make it fun and add animations. Ineffective power points are boring and seem to drone on forever. If one wants their powerpoint to be effective they should practice presenting and make the powerpoint fun to look at. (with lots of colors, pictures, animations, and maybe some witty word play)
