If someone can't explain how something works, they either don't know how it works out don't want you to know how it works.
Things can be complicated and have nuance, but there should be a general basic theory.
The thing is, sometimes you just can't find the right words to explain it in a simple way. It happens to me all the time.
I usually forgive not knowing the right vocabulary as long as it is close enough.
Finding vocabulary at all can be a challenge in and of itself. If I get too lost for words I sometimes can't find any - it's not that I don't know how things work, I don't know how to say it.
I tend to explain stuff to myself to figure out if I think I got it. Sometimes I try explaining stuff on ~~reddit~~ and hope anyone corrects me if I'm wrong. Works great imho.
