Ahhh, how true. Absolutely. As a addition, I once had a V.P of IT boss who loved to philosophize and when we were developing and implementing an exceedingly complex piece of software requiring a lot of specialized input. he said “When you know the material passably well and someone is confusing you, it is because they are confused themselves.”
I cracked up at the second one. Perhaps someone wanted to keep the secret all to themselves. (Funny, but I’ll bet the secret to happiness is just about the opposite of that!) ;-D!
I didn't have my glasses on.... 
Oh how many times there have been those moments of not understanding properly and blubbering my way through an explanation. Love this ❤️

It is interesting how this genius managed to explain so many subtle ideas in the simplest language. I suppose that comes with being a genius 🙂

That is so true and also why we often say oh that looks so simple to do when in fact it’s taken a lot of work to get it simple. 🙂

And if they aren’t explaining it clearly, they often don’t want you to understand how risky or unsafe it really is.
