Ffs. This is s exactly their point. You're seven steps behind the game. The point is that if you don't ask the right questions, the 'ah ha' moment one would need to realize they will be defeated by using a standard testing technique because there is extra context that you, the General Practitioner are unaware of.

Then instead of sitting down and engaging a few brain cells on abstract thinking, you blame the poster for having Aspberger's because you can't make the topical leap.

This happens all the time in topics where one can actually be bothered to accrue significant knowledge, in my experience.

I didn't have a problem following them [AFAICT, there's nothing particularly complicated about the subject], to me the content structure lacks hierarchy that others naturally apply; rather like unintentionally burying the lede. Their point seemed like it was 'left as an exercise for the reader' -- fine if they intended that style is prose.

I didn't blame the GP; friends who have conversed with me in that manner (only 2) have had diagnoses of Asperger's [which is why I chose that term over ASD].

FWIW there were several interesting things in the comment, and I'm glad they made it.
