    i think it’s partly because it’s often very easy for experts to overestimate what non-experts know, even people with some knowledge in the field (relevant xkcd as usual), so it’s probably easier to just dumb it down as much as you possibly can. That way you’re sure most people can actually understand.










  • This was essentially me once, but for real. I was running as exercise and discovered that if i slowed down i didn’t get nearly as tired and could run much further! I thought i had just had an absolutely genius thought and was really proud of myself. It wasn’t until later that i realised that no, i was just being really fucking dumb, as usual.
