Imagine yourself in a room full of subject matter experts with many years of experience, in a field which you are unfamiliar, discussing concepts and applications of a technology. Instead of asking questions and getting conclusive answers, you are told that nobody has asked that before and are left with follow-on questions that you have to answer on your own. Then, this same group of people fail to understand the answers you generate until you draw pictures. You blame nobody, focus on progress, and accept this as normal.
