"Just imagine a sliced donut intersected with a cylinder" I have trouble with linguistic reasoning and I would greatly struggle with a phrase like this, even in a context where I am sure the meaning should be obvious. Visually I can imagine hundreds of ways to slice a donut and hundreds of ways to intersect that with hundreds of cylinders. But linguistically I am slow and dumb :) and would need you to specify how you're slicing the donut and where the cylinder is going. I have to work hard to connect verbal reasoning with non-verbal implicit information - even in simple numbers sometimes I have to carefully think "no, she said from zero, that means you start AT zero, not at one. Otherwise she would have said after zero." The verbal confusion - and psychological insecurity - can sometimes obliterate what had been a solid intuitive understanding of the problem.
