Right, like Einstein used to say that a real genius is not just the one capable of understanding higher knowledge, but also possesses the ability to explain it simply to the audience.
Holy shit, holy shit. That reminds me of one of my favorite jokes of all time.
So, Einstein gets into his car, on the way to a lecture at a university. His driver, who looks suspiciously like him, keeps listening to him complain about giving the lecture, before stopping him.
"Listen, Albert. I've known you for 15 years. I know all your theories, read all your books, even spellchecked that last speech you wrote. Let me handle it - we're basically twins!"
Einstein laughs. "Sure, why not?"
When they get to the university, Einstein takes his chauffeur's clothes and the chauffeur's his, and sits in the back. As the chauffeur is giving his speech, a university student raises his hand.
"What is it?"
The student smiles and asks an esoteric question about the formation of anti-matter in space. The chauffeur sighs, straightens his jacket, and says,
"Sir, that question is so easy I'll let my chauffeur answer it for me."
