I think that's an insightful way to put things. While getting a chance to do some science with my kids during this crazy time, I was forced to put things into words and (relatively) simple terms for things that I always felt I was lacking knowledge, because of a similar type of teaching as you described. But as I began teaching some simple concepts, I for some reason had a better understand than I ever have, and was able to put them into very simple terms.

I feel like so many teachers are on autopilot with various topics that they don't know how to explain the most simple part of a concept, and instead make it infinitely more complicated and it seems magical.
