Making Sense

This is pretty far removed from being just video games. Its more like language comprehension.

If someone says something does not make sense, it doesn't. Not because they know everything or they are lord over all creation but simply because it does not make sense TO THEM. Something is only as clear and concise in direct proportion to how many people understand it. Nothing is absolutely clear even if just one person out of millions doesn't understand. One person, just one is the difference between something being clear or making sense to being unclear or not making sense, ONE.

When someone says something is unclear or doesn't make sense and the only counter argument provided by the other person is 'yes it is clear' or 'yes it does make sense' this other person is a fucking idiot. I could see normal people doing this but anyone in a position where part of what they do is to provide information be it a manager at a shitty fast food restaurant or a professor at a college simply saying 'your wrong yes it does' is un-fucking-acceptable. It is lazy and only makes me think you lack the comprehension of what your actually saying to explain it further or in more detail.

If someone says something you have pointed out doesn't make sense, you have failed miserably at explaining something to your target audience, and should reconsider your position in a field where you would have to explain shit.
