Those who understand piling up from the basic concepts can answer in depth when asked about Abstract Concepts☆, "What does that mean?" can answer in depth when asked "What does it mean?
Related: People who memorize the whole thing can't dig in.
For example, many people feel repulsed by the katakana words that consultants often use #consulting language
I know a competent consultant who, when I ask him, "What does that word mean?" and he answers immediately.
He corresponds to the left side of the figure.

Whether or not the in-depth explanation is "understandable" is an attribute of the recipient.
In other words, "whether an explanation is easy to understand" is not an attribute of the explanation alone, but an attribute that depends on the relationship with the recipient's intelligence.
Even if Mr. A can explain the concept of complex numbers, it is a different story if he can make an elementary school student, who is not even proficient in addition, understand it.
If you spend enough time and Mr. A digs deeper and deeper to explain it, and Mr. C masters it, you will eventually earn the concept*.
In many cases, Mr. A or Mr. C does not have the enthusiasm to spend that much time
