    Are you being deliberately obtuse?
    You are missing the whole point. Communication, not just comprehension, is a two-way street. You need to talk with people. not at people.
    It kinda does. You tailor the message to the audience. Logic dictates you would not attempt to explain quantum physics to a toddler.

    Oh, so now we’re assuming the audience determines the validity of the information rather than the accuracy of the message itself? Interesting take.

    By your logic, if someone refuses to understand basic math, the math itself is wrong—got it. Communication is a two-way street, but comprehension is still the responsibility of the listener as much as the speaker. You can tailor the message all you want, but if someone chooses not to grasp it, that’s on them, not the person delivering it.

    And let’s be real—if someone struggles with basic mechanical concepts, I’m not going to start spoon-feeding them information like I’m talking to a toddler. This isn’t kindergarten, and I’m not handing out participation trophies for effort.

    You haven't got it.

    Your choice.

    When someone's grasp on reality is in question you can't debate him back to health.

    Close the thread, it is of no more value.

    thats what happens when people derail the original topic with their own agenda.

    if that's what you tell yourself to feel better about your day, have at it!

    its said that those who are of genius level intelligence and people who possess exceptional abilities, or creativity are not understood or appreciated by those around them. as you get older you realize you cant please everyone and when others just don't get it, I don't loose sleep over it in my old age.
