One cannot really be surprised if SR appears to

less gifted

people
to be not well or clearly explained. It is in the peculiar
situation of something that is largely correct, and looks
like it could be completely correct, but is

in the eyes of less gifted people

actually partly
wrong. In a situation like this, the most brilliant people
can explain it in all ways ad nauseum, and point to the
right final results but, somehow, the

less gifted

mind is always left
partially unsatisfied.

Why? I think that it is like the case of a room with
obstacles in it. No matter how people show you how
you can move about the room, you are always at least
slightly irritated and dissatisfied with the obstacles that
never get out of the way. They can tell you that they are
not obstacles, and you can easily move around them,
but you are not, and never can be persuaded.

A perfectly true theory will be experienced as something
of clarity, with everything manifestly in order, and in its
place. A theory hiding a subtle falsehood, however small,
however, will never give such an experience, and people
will therefore be forever questioning it and feeling perplexed,
even when they cannot put their finger on what it is about
the theory that seems unsatisfactory.

Such is the case with

your and most crackpot's understanding of

SR

Severy less gifted
