This discussion about "a quasi-uncertainty principle for clarity" and
the tradeoffs between correctness and accessibility in the quest for
understanding has reminded me of a memorable quote attributed to
Ludwik Kowalski that was posted a number of year ago. It was so good
that I made a point of saving a copy of it. According to Ludwik:
"Explanations are never perfectly correct and perfectly clear at the
same time. This is unavoidable because clarity calls for
simplifications, while simplifications, by definition, impose limits
on the truthfulness of what is being explained."
