Thanks for sharing this metaphor. I'm a big fan of detailed explanation and sharing of analogies. For many years, I follow a simple, but very effective rule to check myself if I understand something well. I consider that I understand something, if I can explain it to someone who doesn't understand it. Even better, if I can explain to someone who understands it the wrong way. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
