A note on #explanation and #understanding (and a likely limitation on the possibility of LLMs providing genuine #PersonalisedLearning )

tl;dr - A more effective explanation is not just a reformulation of a less effective one, it involves working out what was taken to be obvious (to the explainer) but isn't (to the explainee)

A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle

I’m not going to tell you much more of the case, Doctor. You know a conjurer gets no credit once he has explained his trick; and if I show you too much of my method of working, you will come to the conclusion that I am a very ordinary individual after all.

Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) British writer and physician
Story (1886-04), “A Study in Scarlet,” Part 1, ch. 4 [Holmes], Beeton’s Christmas Annual, Vol. 28 (1887-11-21)

A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle

It was easier to know it than to explain why I know it. If you were asked to prove that two and two made four, you might find some difficulty, and yet you are quite sure of the fact.

There is a saying in Mathematics that no matter how big a number you get, it will always be closer to Zero (0) than to Infinity (∞).

I'm Italian, I live in Italy, so I have to love football at all costs because it's such an overrated sport that it's polluted the entire Italian pop culture? I was thinking about it while I was at a chain store trying out the PS5 once again, and among the many games listed on the main screen (no Astro Bot, sorry...) there was only EA Sports FC 25 available to boot... I find myself in a dilemma where, even though I know there's so much interest in that series, I still wanted to try to understand why it's still so loved, only to then be piled up in the used bins as soon as a new annual edition comes out, going to suffocate other games that remain in the used bins and are waiting for a possible new owner. Quick assessment of the character models and animations: Skin as smooth as cuttlefish, expressions as stiffable idiots, movement like spasmodic monsters and the speed of a chronically tired person with constant whippings from behind, alternating aggression due to the game's excessive automation (it seems like a management game with few moments of interactivity). We've reached the point where replicating realism has made sports simulations even more predictably bland, which I was already criticizing more than 15 years ago, and the situation has even worsened, to the point that the beauty remains only in the annually updated players. I also have the bad feeling that the developers either don't want to or are inept at replicating certain realistic details, but mostly on the...

Way back on 25 Dec. 2025, after returning home from my uncles' Christmas dinner, instead of resuming the 1500-piece puzzle, I decided to channel surf and this movie came to me... it would have been better if I had resumed the puzzle. With every scene I saw, I tried to understand why that film was considered a cult, then I went to read about it on the web and discovered that it is from the 70s and by Steven Spielberg from the direction and screenplay. At that time, audiences couldn't have done anything better than elevate a film with a predictable and trivial plot, seemingly endlessly long, and with scenes that repeat themselves even from different angles (like the professor repeating in different ways). I couldn't stop laughing at the narrative solutions brought to the screen and the idiocy of the characters set up like that, otherwise the plot wouldn't progress. The movie's saving grace is its final part, after the two useless protagonists (heterosexual, to use the excuse of the kiss that-must-be-there, even though he is married with children) discover the truth: choreography and "special effects" well-constructed and staged by the standards of the time. For the rest, the movie can even be watched at 5x and skipping many dead parts, besides the fact that the plot is rather weak and ineffective, so much so that I spent the time making light of every single detail that was, for me, out of place with my jokes, because it was a bore to watch it in the long run...
