What you really mean is that you don't understand how LIGO works and neither do any of the reporters who try to explain it. And so the explanations that are available in public do not really give an insight into what is happening. That's unfortunately true for a lot of physics. For example, there are very few good explanations available for what is electric current and it is pretty funny observing even people with lots of experience offer the same lame, false explanation.
