Bingo !

Yep exactly that, and not at all.

No matter how correct an answer might be, if the person you're talking to
doesn't understand it its worth exactly nothing to him.

So you don't change the answer itself, but you actually want to help you
/do/ try to rephrase or even re-explain it so it gets across.     At least,
that is what I always did.

But for the record: richard clasified my attempts to explain what I thought
was happening as "strange theories about what it does".  Should /I/ now
adapt my answer to suit the needs of him ?    But not the other way around ?
Really ?

And a straight-forward question to you: Should I simply /lie/ about me
understanding what richard said (and drop the whole thing I was busy with as
a result of not understanding this part) ?    'Cause thats the only option
you seem to be giving me ... :-(
