  That was way more accurate and intelligent than this. Like orders of magnitude.

      Isn’t most fiber optics solid glass? So more a series of rods.

    And the inside of a fiber optic cable is sort of a bunch of tubes, if you’re feeling a bit loose about descriptions.

  I mean…replace the word “tubes” with “cables” and he’s reasonably correct on an ELI5 level I would say.

      Clogged…like a broadcast storm? IDK, I can see the analogy working, but I don’t doubt that any resemblance of correctly was purely coincidental.
