"it can be insulting"

Insulting, really? Somebody cares to try to explain you something and the word you can find is "insulting"?

It's like everyone owes it to you to chew knowledge in small enough bits that you can swallow them without any effort.

What a kindergarden.

Well, I dont agree with OP but i think you miss the mark. it's not deigning to provide an explanation that would be insulting, but the (apparent) promise of it being an accessible and intuitive explanation, and quite obviously not being one that OP considered insulting.

I understood OP exactly as you said. This doesn't justify OP's whining, not one bit.
