[FRIAM] Experts explaining stuff at multiple levels of difficulty

[Gillian Densmore]

^^ It's awesome! A friend turned me on to it. Their is urban myth that some
scientists got into a heated argument about something, in a pub or lecture
hall. At some point one of the bellowed that if you can't explain it  so as
a kid can understand it you're doing it wrong! Steven Hawking seemed to
thing it might have been anecdote about Einstein, or Higs . I have no idea
who was involved.
However IMO if I can't explain it so a 14 year old nephew can understand
it...i'm doing it wrong.  I love it that WIRED and  Hawking and NDGT
(NeilDrase Tyson however his name is spelled) seem to have simillar
thoughts.
It's a really good clip..they have one on QBit Computing.
