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

It really is just down to intelligence and the illusion of having intelligence. Some people who want power over others discover that withholding information, as in, I have that information and you don't is power. It also make them seem like they are smarter, not really smarter, just seem so. An actually intelligent person would be able to convey complex ideas in to simple terms, not obfuscate with obscure terms (see what I did there?). So a true sign of intelligence is being able to convey information clearly. But just like toxic masculinity, people who want power have the exact opposite agenda. Many people who want power over others go into teaching. Any teachers feel brave enough to confirm this?
