"Tout est vague à un degré que vous ne réalisez pas jusqu'à ce que vous ayez essayé de le rendre précis."
— Bertrand Russell

Simplified Meaning:
When we think we understand something, we often don't realize how unclear it is until we try to explain it in detail. Imagine you think you know how a car works. But if you had to describe every little part and how they all fit together, you might find it much harder than you thought. This shows that our understanding can be more superficial than we realize. When you need to be precise, you have to pay attention to all the small details that you usually overlook. This can be applied to many areas of life, like when giving instructions or teaching someone else. The key is to break things down into smaller, clearer steps so everyone can understand better.
