It also somehow frame someone who maybe so deeply involved in a subject that, although understanding everything about that subject, still cannot more clearly explain it to someone else. I don’t think this is like “they probably don’t understand it” as much as “the listener can’t understand it”.
- themodelplumber 5y agoYes. Plus, beginners are sometimes more likely to attach to jargon they don't understand. But even that says a lot about their _desire_ to understand, which is also laudable and worth encouraging in many cases, not exactly a failure of competence. https://youtu.be/ZLyNWMI1rEk https://youtu.be/ZLyNWMI1rEk ...a tongue in cheek example :-)
- zekrioca 5y agoThat’s some “anxiety”. Up to a point it was understandable though :)
