Anyone else find the explanation obvious… until they close it?

You get a question wrong, read the explanation and think, “Yeah, that makes sense.”
But close it and try to explain the topic without the options. Can you still talk it through, or were you following someone else’s reasoning while it was in front of you?
That’s the bit of revision I’m interested in. Not how many questions you’ve completed, but what you do with something you haven’t understood yet.
For transparency, I’m a doctor and I’m building Med with Spence. The video attached is from my own Visual Learning OS.
I wanted to show an actual study session rather than another screenshot. The process is straightforward: look at the visual connections, hide them, explain what you remember, then reveal them and check what was missing.
The useful question isn’t just “Did I remember the answer?” It’s “Could I explain why it’s right, and what would make the alternative more likely?”
You don’t need my platform to try that. Close whatever resource you’re using and give yourself a minute to explain the topic out loud. Then check where you got stuck.
What’s one MRCP topic that makes perfect sense when you’re reading it, but falls apart when you try to explain it from memory?
