I dunno, I have a lot respect for people who take difficult concepts and try to make them easier to grasp.

Teachers are more valuable than belittlers. "This isn't hard" is not a lesson plan or a path to enlightenment.

I also have a lot of respect for people who are willing to teach. But I don't respect teachers that speak of these concepts like they're magic that no mere mortal can understand. This is stuff that everyone can know -- and should know -- and needs to be treated like learning arithmetic, not tensor calculus.
