It’s okay for you to not get everything. This one is simple, it’s just not for you. You don’t get it because it wasn’t built for you.

> Can someone offer an explanation...? I don't mean this in a crass way [...] What's the upside?

They weren't saying that it wasn't OK - they were just asking for an explanation from someone for whom it _was_ built

I wouldn't usually have responded, but "treating a question as an attack or criticism" is a particular bugbear of mine. We can't grow, learn, or understand one another if questions are by-default treated with hostility or defensiveness.
