David, it is hard for anybody to explain what he/she is thinking. That's
the challenge of expressing thought. One word, to the thinker, can capture
a ton of information. Say that one word to the listener, you knowing
exactly what all that word means, leaves the listener with that one word
and without all of the other good stuff, intertwingled with that one word,
still in that detailed picture stored in yer sponge.
So the listeners need to have a little bit of a crystal ball.
Eventually, the whole picture becomes clear as long as everybody can find
the pleasure in, and not get too frustrated by, the long game of "is this
what you mean?"
Ahhhhh, ping-pong. Or as my uncle calls it: gnip-gnop.
