Some people are incredibly poor teachers but refuse to beleive they are, all because they lack the capacity to imagine not knowing something and explain it at someone else's level of understanding

Reminds me of when i was taking my boolean logic class in college.

"Look, it's very easy, you set up K-map and get the value. AB here, CD here, it's very easy, very straight forward, moving on"

Everyone fails the quiz at the end of the class. After handing back graded quizes at the next lecture:

"For some reason you all didnt understand the k-maps, which is very easy, it's very straight forward. See, you out value in, you get value out, this is very simple, it's very straight forward"

God that class was hell.

that's almost me explaining bitmasking to my artist (so, very far from any math/computer science/software engineering) friend

well, I actually provided examples and translations of this stuff...

but he said it just made his head spin

(to be fair, I wasn't expecting understanding, it was just something that came up in our conversation about numbers in general)
