THANK YOU for posting this comment. I absolutely LOVE these two quotes, and can't tell you how many times I could have used them over the years.
These two quotes are now a permanent part of my arsenal for responding to busy individuals who say they "want to understand" a new technology or idea, but what they actually want is for the new technology or idea to be explained to them using only simple concepts with which they are already familiar, so they don't have to learn anything new.
