Could be your explanations weren't very convincing...
Well, suppose that were so. And suppose that this were a conversation.
Then somebody would say, "The weaknesses in these explanations are such-and-such." And then we could look at them, and talk about it.
But that is not what happened or what happens. Instead there is a lot of "No! It doesn't mean that. Whatever you say, I know you believe thus-and-so." And a great many more people don't even read the explanations.
So, while it could be true that my explanations were weak, it is still true that this does not have the quality of a conversation among adults.
