    well, depending on what we are talking about, your understanding may not be required for you to perform your task. Maybe your instructor also doesn’t know. but somewhere down the line someone implemented it for a good reason thats not immediately obvious or easy to explain.

    We cannot expect everyone to know everything about what they do. it would be better but isnt feasible.

    i dont need to know how to build a car to drive it. would it help? yes. is my mental capacity limited? very!

      I don’t need to know how a car works to know the consequences of not using it correctly. I don’t need to understand how a respiratory virus replicates and harms my body to know that I should wear a mask around others when sick. It usually comes down to more universal concepts like danger, efficiency, or efficacy. What makes a reason good is often simpler than the involved mechanics

        And yet we have tons of people unwilling to believe that the response to a respiratortly virus is to wear masks. It was well explained why, they just didn’t want to do it because it was seen as too much of an inconvenience.

        Same thing happens with driving vehicles.

        Sometimes the answer doesn’t matter if people want to be obstinate, and saying that they won’t do it if not properly explained is an easy out for them.

      You’ve clearly lived a life of privilege in a society that never stops sucking your dick. That’s rare. Some of us need to grow the fuck up at some point. For us, knowing things is helpful.

      Yes, and there are also time-sensitive cases like emergency services, medical procedures, and working in high-risk environments, where you don’t have time to stop and explain everything. Ideally there’d be some kind of debrief tho.
