Readers check out with those, too. I've found that's largely because everyone has a slightly different perspective on what something means, ergo everyone's always talking slightly past everyone else and the discussion doesn't amount to anything. It takes a very skilled learner to say "I'm shelving my idea so I can understand yours." And it takes a very skilled teacher to simulate a learner's brain with their own. Diagrams don't solve this problem, in fact, no tool does.
