I think this is what I dislike most about Jordan Peterson. He appears to behave as if it's your fault if when you paraphrase what you think he's said back to him is not something he wants to agree with. IMHO, you haven't understood someone if you can't repeat it back to them in your own language, and there's a good probability that this is the fault of the explainer not the explainee.

I don't think that's unique to JP. Most people are very bad at paraphrasing without veering into misrepresentation. I'm still working on getting better.
That's not what I said. ROFL

Yes, it is. I quoted you and the source post is unmodified.
Ironically, my interpretation may not be what you meant, despite it's simplicity.

So I guess we just talk past each other. Sounds good.
