   It is frightening how often people pretend to understand a thing they have explained to them just so no one thinks they're dumb.

     @freemo nothing to do with you or anything on fedi. Explaining problems or solutions or just how to read something to someone and rather than ask more questions they just pretend to get it. It's dangerous if they are then put in a situation where they need to use the thing they could have learned but their pride prevented

     The problem is just because something is "explained to you" doesnt mean that the person explaining it was right.

     @freemo some people have more experience than others.
     
     Admittedly I may come off as brash which could dissuade followup questions.

     @freemo in the particular case I am referring to it isn't a matter of doubting the accuracy of my instructions. It's simply not understanding and being afraid to ask more questions. It's not an uncommon problem. Where I have seen it the worst was off shore dev firms (primarily from India), but i also see it in my personal life. Some people just smile and nod without actually engaging their brains and following along.

     @freemo if you can't trust the technical information coming from the lead engineer there is a serious problem.
     
     There is a big difference from doubting and not understanding, and I can tell the difference. Doubting would likely come with extra questions too. I think you'd be less likely to be embarrassed by having doubt's over not understanding.

     @thatguyoverthere Oh I know, I didnt think it had to do with me... Just saying, just cause you or anyone said a thing doesnt mean the other side beleives it :) Or even that it was true
