Overexplaining things you don't have a good grasp on is not the best idea idea out there. Asking questions can help piecing together some understanding which when when communicated and has some kind of feedback, does have a good effect on further learning. I used the word communicated instead of overexplaining which I find a bit overbearing. Overexplaining... If the point gets across the first time why repeat it ad nauseum?

This is a good example of how communication can be hard. I’m not suggesting the person without information over explain. I agree that’s a pretty silly idea. I’m suggesting that as the other person, the person building the flux capacitors, a good idea is to assume that others might not know what a flux capacitor is and try to anticipate questions.
