Often, explaining/teaching has only short term value in terms of the product. The code will outlive the team; I try to factor the knowledge into the code, making the code easy to deal with. I also spend a lot of time explaining and teaching, as it is necessary, but it's really a stopgap measure. Give it a few years and there's mostly new people.
