Generally speaking, many tend to arrogantly assume that if they don’t grasp something due to their own limitations, the fault lies with the communicator for not oversimplifying enough.

They project their inability onto the explanation, believing that only “true genius” or experts can simplify without losing the essence.
In reality, what they seek is a shallow simplification—a version so diluted that even considerable mastery isn’t on display.
True advanced simplification isn’t about reducing content to mere vague ideas; it’s about refining it to a succinct elegance without stripping away valuable nuance.
When pushed to simplify further, the inherent complexity forces the explanation into near oblivion, losing depth entirely.
This dilution is often mistaken as smartness, while many intelligent individuals struggle with clear articulation simply due to the nature of their thinking.
When it comes to teaching, clarity in expression is crucial—whether instructing beginners or advanced learners—and the rewards differ accordingly.
Nowadays, with AI available to break down complex ideas to varying degrees, comprehension barriers are less about inherent inability and more about one's level of interest.
It's not uncommon to see replies generated by AI that summarize or rephrase initial thoughts.
In the end, authentic self-expression is essential if looking to engage with like-minded people—and any compromise on that authenticity is both self-defeating and unfulfilling.
"Sometimes, certain voices write for high-IQ audiences, making
it obvious that oversimplification isn’t necessary."
