Some of the things that I know about would take months or years to explain to a novice in such a way that they would understand what I was talking about. Not by way of metaphor or by analogy, but to truly see things the way I'm seeing them when I give an explanation. We can try to meet halfway but the requisite knowledge may be lacking.

In effect this is what I'm doing when I coach interns and juniors -- giving them the requisite knowledge so that they can see things the way I'm trying to explain them.
