People can fail to understand something and then they communicate to you that they feel threatened by the ideas they can’t immediately grasp, which they term "drivel".
That’s not a scientific attitude, or even a civilized one. What is more problematic is that people feel the need to cut their chances of social interaction by expressing nastiness. I can understand what they are telling me, that they do not understand what I am saying and that they feel that perhaps my life is easy because I can understand things that escape them, but why do they need to also shoot themselves in the foot, by proving they are dislikable? It seems to be going too far.
