| :Of course I didn't invent the idea in 5th grade, if that's what you have been implying this whole time. Who would believe that was my claim? You? No, I did not believe it unlike some of the members on here that you mislead (intentionally). You're smart enough to see that they're misunderstanding your post and believing something that isn't true, but you're not correcting them. I think you should be more forthcoming. Be upfront and honest with people. Don't mislead people into believing that you invented something that you did not invent. While you don't outright claim it, you mislead people into believing it. There are 2 ways to go about explaining something to someone who doesn't know: 1- you could break it down into the simplest terms so that your audience is able to understand something that they otherwise wouldn't have understood. 2- you could use complex terms in an effort to confuse your audience, in which case they won't learn anything but they'll look up to you in admiration for being able to understand it. I think choice number 1 is the more honest and productive choice.
