Can you explain it? Is it something that's entirely dependent on understanding US-only cultural references?

- dqpb 5y agoBrad and Edgar are both athletes. Brad plays football and Edgar plays baseball. Brad is watching Edgar play baseball. Edgar’s behavior indicates to Brad that Edgar is not a talented athlete. However, Brads frame of reference is football, which is not the game Edgar is playing. In the frame of reference of baseball, it turns out that Edgar is a good athlete.
