This discussion reminds me of an old Chinese proverb that I made up: If one cannot explain something on an understandable level to those who don't understand it ... then the one doing the explaining probably doesn't understand it.

I found out this out very quickly when I first started teaching electronics. I had to really learn some of the stuff I thought I already knew!

When ever I had a presentation to make to the customer as a young eng my boss would always tell me to show the presentation to my wife and if she does not understand it to change it until she does. He was Italian not Chinese.
