For a 'not an expert' explanation you did a better job than the original paper.
It would be really nice if someone could explain some of this in lay terms.
To explain something complex I learned that most people may not know.
Sorry, I'm not very bright. Why don't you try explaining things explicitly, so simpler folk like me can understand?
Could you please share this simple explanation for those of us who aren’t as smart as you?
Anyone knows a non-technical version which conveys the same point as this article?
You couldn’t really expect me to understand all that from what you said. Thanks for explaining in the end but I wonder if your specialised knowledge and thought into this made it harder for you to explain the concept in plain language. Maybe it’s obvious to you, but it wasn’t for me.
Running explain is easy. Understanding the explanation is the hard part, and for some reason resources are scarce.
Can someone give a layman's explanation?
Hi, I am the author of the article, and I am sorry you didn't find it easy to understand.Is there something specific I can clarify, I am not opposed to updating the article to make it more clear. The whole point of the site is to make these concepts as easy and illustrated as possible.Please let me know how this can be improved.
