Lol then continue to keep your topic of study less accessible.
"A car is a small vehicle that has a motor that turns energy into motion".
"Ummm well ackshually there are smaller vehicles than that, and cars can be electric or oil, so clearly you don't understand the topic unless you start with the factory blueprints first instead of the dictionary definition."

> a very misleading summary
That depends on the person on the receiving end. For an expert on the topic, it may be misleading. For average Joe on the street, it is completely fine.
Do you have a better 5-sentence explanation for what Big Bang is? Joe isn't going to read a book about it.
The thing with topics like the ones covered in Debt, is that they have been weaponised by our leaders to facilitate social stratification and very unjust economic disparities. I believe this has largely been made possible through simplification of these concepts and making bite-sized claims about how "basic economics" works, where all the detail and nuance has been thrown out. These kinds of 3 sentence summaries can be very dangerous.
