> its because they are tempered by understanding they have to be understood by so many different groups of people

People who can't explain what they are thinking, don't even know it themselves.

Look at calculus. For the people inventing it, it was very complex and abstract.
Now it is relatively simple to understand because it has been broken down and studied.

Anyone can shit out a new idea that is both abstract and unique.
Understanding the idea to a degree that it can be broken down into simpler concepts is where the real understanding lies.

I see this all the time with noobs entering research. They think they are geniuses, but can't define their thoughts for shit. Part of that is the English language being trash, but even German students don't know what the fuck they are thinking. Great ideas come and go all day, just because you had a great idea doesn't mean shit if you can't define it and produce something with it. Idiot have great ideas and don't know it.
