There’s an old joke about quantum mechanics professors starting their first lecture with something along the lines of “right now, some of you probably understand quantum mechanics. By the end of the semester, if I did my job right, none of us will understand it.”
It’s hard to explain quantum mechanics even when you understand them.
It’s a superposition of knowledge and ignorance.
The more you know the less you know
Congratulations, you’ve successfully explained quantum mechanics.
This isn’t even a joke, it’s literally true in quantum mechanics.
Thank you for explaining the joke, I now know less.
You know nothing, but you know precisely about what you know nothing.
Only before you check, though.
Cue the PhD comic about depth of knowledge vs breadth of knowledge.
Sometimes I get the sense that I have a clear picture of quantum mechanics. But when I look closer, it gets all blurry.
The more you know of one thing the less you know of the other*
This is true about everything though.
Damn Heisenberg

Iirc, it’s a youtube video of an actual class

If they’re lucky they might understand kubernetes though.
Or as the professionals call it, k8s
I thought that was like its thing. It doesn’t really make sense.
