    So someone that understands it better than you is jerking themselves off when they explain it to someone else?

    Did you also think all of your teachers were jerking themselves off every day in front of the class?

      Who said I’m saying they understand it better? I’m saying they understand it differently, which is fine, but I don’t get it and I don’t care for those allegories.

      Did you also think all of your teachers were jerking themselves off every day in front of the class?

      What are you on about? Do you see any college textbooks written with this kind of imagery in STEM? I don’t see anything but clear, precise language in those texts.

        You said you don’t understand it. Obviously they understand it better than you do.

        “I don’t get it, so it’s dumb” is not the thought process of a learned individual.
