This is a very wise point I haven’s seen written out this concretely, thanks! I really do feel this additional detail is necessary to the above claims. No matter how much of an expert someone is, there are topics that have so many dependencies themselves, that are alsk advanced knowledge, that explaining it in one go is just not possible.
There are some topics where analogies can sidestep some of this difficulty in teaching by basically keeping the shape of the dependency graph, and replacing it with one that happens in ordinary life. But I don’t think that every expert topic can have such a homology, fundamentally so. Complexity is unending, while “problems common in ordinary life” has limited complexity. That math paper that 10 people understand on Earth will not be readily accessible to Aunt Mary not even by the smartest person on Earth.
