In college I asked a professor to re-word/repeat several hard-to-understand statements.
Professor ridiculed me, stating my lack of intellectual abilities was not his affair and said it was I who needed to improve; not his knowledge-dissemination abilities.
"Oh, okay," I uttered. Wondering what the major malfunction of that idiot was.
Oh how I reveled when, slowly, a sea of hands arose and the majority present also declared their non-comprehension.
And, that mass declaration was NOT merely to "defend" me... those others did NOT comprehend the professor either!!!!!!!
So, he reworded, re-stated the concept!!!!
Well, yes. I have debated PhDs and "won." As much as any argument/debate can be won.
I'm too afraid to ask for help

Often best to merely smile and walk away.
