You are absolutely correct. I spend my day solving problems in software and not converting what's in my head to English that a non-software problem solver will understand. So when I have to do the latter, it takes time. Funny thing is, this goes both ways-- Mr. MBA also doesn't know how to explain a subject with which he is intimately familiar in a manner friendly to people without his knowledge. Yet, anyone who doesn't grasp his latest master plan must be an idiot. Stereotypically speaking, I find that most techs tend to have a bit more empathy when it comes to explaining things than the business people have.
