It's like a little kid being taught to swim in the ocean by his dad. You have always been afraid of the ocean but your dad has talked about how there is nothing to be afraid of, here's how to do the dog paddle, just paddle out and float, don't worry, if anything happens I'll save you. You're still not totally comfortable with being out in the water but hey your dad taught you a special way to swim and after all he's been swimming all over the ocean, and it's worked for him...right? So now everyone is out over their head and your dad looks like maybe he's having kind of a hard time keeping his head above water, or is he? It's hard to tell, is he struggling or not, was he lying about knowing how to swim or knowing about how to teach someone else to swim? Hey listen, I don't know if I can do this by myself, if he goes down I'm in big trouble, hey dad...dad! tell me how you know how to swim again okay...I'm scared.
