I run into this all of the time when explaining what I'm doing at work as a programmer. It's not that I couldn't explain why my merging workload increased due to the increased code collisions from my coworkers working in the same files, and how dividing my current assignment in two so I could check in code would reduce this. It's doing that in a normal conversation under time and attention constraints which is the problem.

In the workplace, there is also the problem of coworkers' (managers in particular) desire to listen to you explain it.
