Has it occurred to you that maybe I am perfectly capable of googling something, but the level of technobabble that I got back in the results went way over my head? And that Wikipedia wasn’t especially helpful (see link elsewhere in the thread), so the best way I could think of to understand something was to just ask the people who’re talking about it, and, presumably, know about it?

So, thank you for the information, but please do work on your soft skills a little. For example, apologising for something that “feels rude or offends”, and then going ahead and doubling down (with added assumptions, no less), makes that apology feel highly questionable in the first place.
