They’re probably insecure and intelligence and people’s perception of it is their only crutch.

I wouldn’t assume malice in all cases. Maybe they just aren’t great at breaking down complex subjects into plain language because it’s complex. Being an effective communicator and teacher is a skill that needs a lot of patience, practice, development, and feedback in order to get good, especially when trying to convey ideas through speech.

Einstein said if you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough. And drag trusts Einstein, because he was an expert at understanding complicated things.
