What don’t you understand? I gave you the terms to look up to educate yourself if you actually cared, but instead of showing interest or the humility to ask, you literally just declared that you were right again without any reasoning and while saying you were ignorant.
So shall I take this as you not being interested in the information?

Fascinating how you suddenly backtrack on this when actually being asked to explain further lol

You didn’t ask me to explain anything, you said I had the chance. You’re right, I could’ve kept trying, but you didn’t ask, and I don’t owe it to you.
I have spent far too much energy in the past trying to explain to people who aren’t listening to bother with people who are functionally no different to a brick wall. It’s exhausting and pointless.
And on a more simple, practical level, if you don’t tell me what you found confusing about what I said, then I don’t know what you need explained. As I said, the information is there if you want to investigate any of the terms you didn’t understand. If you want my help, you are going to need to express it.
Which is why, when I detect this behaviour, like you showed when you baldly repeated:
I always stop and ask the person to express literally any curiosity to understand. In my experience people who aren’t listening won’t do this. Like I said, it would cost you nothing to ask if you actually do want to know.
You can express that you are curious to understand what I’m saying, or you can not. That is up to you, but it’s literally free to do, and it’s all I ask.
Do what you want.
