I agree. My undergraduate was political science and the real world is
extremely nuanced and complicated and treacherous, and the terms used in
politics have almost entirely different meanings in political science.

The vast majority of this thread reminds me of Feynman being asked about
magnetism. YouTube it. It's hilarious and spot on. He's like, 'I can't even
have a coherent conversion about it (with the interviewer) because while
the question is reasonable and interesting, without a basic (which isn't so
basic) common frame of reference every answer I give you, you won't
understand, and every metaphor I use is cheating you of a valid answer and
therefore misleading.'
