    Y’all failed to realize that Americans are math, science, and just regular plain sorts of illiterate. So if you want them to understand anything, you have to give it to them in units they can physically see or common household objects.

    Just think of it as trying to explain a difficult concept to a toddler or maybe at best a six-year-old. That’s what it feels like talking to the American public.

      To be fair, that’s the level of education, that mainstream media outlets expect of the general population elsewhere, as well.

      Here in Germany, they reference things in bathtubs, football fields (read: soccer), and Saarlands.
