Bellman,
I understood you, I just wanted to make sure that the selfless individuals understood that I was not criticizing their work, but instead trying emphasize why despite such high quality materials you see folks from time to time walking away from SC and DW saying that "they just don't get it".
For most games, it is usually the ones who are experts who produce materials. Usually, such individuals have had an interest in the topic material so long that it is hard to recall when the basics were not second nature to them. I was in that situation when teaching flight sim combat. However, what helped me to get the key points across to total new players was doing two hours of flying/tutoring each night online. That permitted me to see it from their perspective and preconceived notions. It is very hard to be an expert and yet teach something as if you are starting with a clean slate.
