Those who passionately pontificate about something they don’t fully understand or haven’t put sufficient thought into will, when pressed to articulate their thoughts, bluster about the obviousness of it all and assert that there is no need for them to explain: ‘You know what I mean!’
Perhaps you do. But why should you have to fill in their blanks? Why should you have to make sense of what they are unable to articulate, or read between the lines what they are too cowardly to state explicitly?
It’s not up to you to do the work of understanding their ideas for them, let alone make those ideas workable where they can or will not.
