> Felt like people'd been deliberately obtuse to keep me from learning.

When I get that feeling, what's really happening 99% of the time is that the person trying to explain actually has no idea what they're talking about, but doesn't want to admit it.

If you understand a concept well enough, you can explain it simply and succinctly (barring things like really esoteric maths/physics, but nothing in computing is that difficult in my experience).
