I read an Einstein’s primer on the issue and do not think I could explain it any better to a child.
During the time when I was reading it, my sister brought over her two babies for me to watch while she went shopping. She came back to me reading the book out loud and exclaimed “they cannot understand that”. I said “at their age (a few months) they cannot understand Dr Seuss so I might as well read what I want. All they care about is hearing the sound of a human voice.”
There is evidence that before the advent of cameras, most times painters were paid to make the people look better than they really looked (physical descriptions did not usually match the paintings).
On my last cruise. they had a tv dedicated to sports in one of the bars. They showed a game of cricket every day except Saturday which was college football all day. They had a crowd watching it so I tried watching it for a while and it did not seem to follow the rules I had read once. So clearly I did not understand them.
And he was right. People cannot handle that we want someone on that wall willing to do things we are not willing to think about and cannot handle hearing about. (Though seriously, why do we need that base at all?)
