>>23329660I've found that a lot of so-called "yapping" tends to be needed examples, complications, nuances, etc., that allow you to further triangulate on a concept with precision. If you think you can grasp exactly what somebody is saying, even before they finish saying it, and then correctly apply it to every situation, then sure you can do with a book without yapping. But I think that's mostly hubris speaking. There's also a tendency for people who have partial exposure to a subject to get annoyed when an explanation covers ground they already know. Well, a comprehensive treatment is bound to do that if you have some prior knowledge. It's a bit of a narcissistic criticism given that an explanation that is complete won't necessarily be an explanation that is tailored to Joe Schmoe and his particular needs at a given time. There's one last kind of yapping that is not yapping, and that's when somebody is too smooth-brained to understand the idea in its entirety. So, they dismiss the extra qualifiers as an intellectual defensive mechanism instead of appreciating it as additional nourishment. Usually, these kinds of people tend to forget what they've read and fail to apply an idea in even its most rudimentary form, but they never remember their own incompetence.>inb4 yappingIf you just read the first sentence of every paragraph, you'd have gleaned everything I needed to say. Everything else is helpful detail Not my fault you wasted your time lol.
