Hmmm! I do not know too many children that Einstein explained his theory of
relativity to who truely understood it and all its mathematical
formulations. :-) Just because one can explain something in the grossly
popularized fashion so that a child can get the general gist of the concepts
does not mean that they have explained it or that it is truely understood by
child or adult, explainer or explainee. ;-) Sometimes, things are not
explainable, articulatable, or effable not so much due to their complexity
as to the fact that the underlying notions and conceptions present an alien
version of reality which those not open to accepting it by bracketing their
beliefs in their own versions of reality and calling those assumptions into
question as problematic will have trouble comprehending the edifice that is
built upon that substructureal foundation.
Maybe this is the case with color management and color correction theories
and procedures.

cannot
explain a complex concept to a child, then you do not truly understand it
yourself.... :)
