Oh, I see. I do think Dr. Pizza is very intelligent due to the fact he can break things down like you pointed out. Rubycon is a nerd. She doesn't know how to un-geek her speek. Many engineers can't do that.
I don't think it takes anything away from her. But I am awe struck with those with a great teaching ability like Dr. Pizza.
While I'm nowhere near her technical level, I do still encounter that - try to explain a technical thing to someone, and all the analogies or references I can think of on short notice would
also require significant explanation.
"How does an LED work?"
"Well there's a p-n junction, and....the electrons.......Well, the atoms used make monochromatic light of a specific frequency.....
It makes green light."
"Oh, ok! Cool!"
P-n junction, electrons, atoms, monochromatic light, the fact that light has a frequency....yeah, that won't cut it. "It's green" is about all that some can handle. (I got to blow some minds once when I explained that radio waves are the same basic thing as light - EM radiation. At the same time, I also got to use the words "radiation" and "irradiated" a lot, and tried to dispel the notion that radiation=instant death.)
If they were so smart they would be saving the world and shit...
Saving the world, one nef at a time.
