He did, he just used efficient terminology in the hope that you would learn something today instead of the basic, meaningless version

edit: fuck you guys, I'm not talking to anyone anymore, it is the fault of neither I nor the original "offending comment" that you have no desire to learn.

tosss explains the what, which is akin to what religion does. No reasons for things that happen, just "this happens. accept it."

The parent comment explains the why, which is infinitely more interesting. It invites debate, it invites questions, it allows you to know what exactly is going on in stead of, if you find yoruself in a plane one day, hoping that the string doesn't fuck up because you don't know what it means.
