yeah, it's really confusing.

Many folks are comfortable with jumping through the hoops (following instructions) WITHOUT understanding what's really happening.

Those of us who aren't comfortable with "just works" need to plow through a enormous amount of persnickety jargon and easily forgettable material to reach an understanding that gives us confidence.




Thank you for this reminder! It has slowly dawned on me over the years that when "everyone" thinks something is easy and I don't, it's often because we're comparing a surface level understanding vs. a full grok.
