I thought I was following the first bit, but then....
To confront your own ignorance, to realise your brain's inacapacity to comprehend is very painful. Ouch!

No, Phil. Please don't explain. Please.
I can live with the acceptance that there is stuff out there that I will never know or understand.

Ok I won't explain that all you do is something and then do it again and again and again to the answer you got the previous time you did it.
If you don't want to understand then fair enough

Oh, alright, I admit it. I did understand that bit, in fact I thought I was doing quite well all through the first three paragraphs, then it got hard. Very hard!

To understand most of it is good. Very good, it's a very abstract concept.

What got me is how something can be not 1-D, 2-D or 3-D but, say 1.25-D. Of course, I've always had trouble understanding the fourth and fifth dimension (so you know, if anyone out there knows the answer to THAT I'd be much obliged).
