Yeah there is almost always a better way then "you idiot no one would do that." There needs however to be some Venn diagram overlap in ability and understanding - the discussion starts where you and they have a common shared understanding of the code and you then expand their circle a little. Its painful and usually waaay easier to call people an idiot, so its important to pay people to be teachers.
