Let's consider an example about a tangible phenomena: Gaussian Integration, Quantum Entanglement, Crystalline Structure Formation in Alloyed Metals with Heat Treatment, Combustion Dynamics in a Gasoline Engine, etc.

Let's put the same sentence:

"I'd love to explain to you, but if you haven't read $SOURCE_MATERIAL, you wouldn't understand it anyway".

Does it sound pompous and insufferable?

Look mate you're a fan of this writing, that's fine. I respect your opinion. Let's agree to disagree.
I'm not a fan, but accept them as they are.

Of course we can agree to disagree. I'm not trying to win anything, but just express my perspective.

Have a nice day!
