The Expert sketch is all dramatic and frustrating, I rather like the Mitchell and Webb spoon design sketch for a quieter view of the problems of designing and communicating https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hu9nhExp5KI

(y'know, if you're faced with something which seems obvious, and the expert is struggling, why? And should you simply trust them and give up? Why is the extra "explanation" just the same thing repeated again and again? How difficult it is to say "I still don't understand" after several of these explanations. And then at the end it's less clear whether the request is reasonable, if you use spoons as a proxy for other things).
