KJ. We have been through the typical phases already.

Alan doesn’t understand some basic concept.

People explain, first in cliffs notes, then in excruciating detail.

Alan still doesn’t understand.

We were almost up to the phase when Alan says “BS!” And Robbie chimes in denouncing and/or insulting all the people who tried to explain things to Alan.

But you introduced a few new concepts which will be unfamiliar to Alan, and we will have to start all over.

Let it go.
