How can you tell the difference between being too dumb to understand a concept and just having a shitty source (professor or book)?

For anybody above 100 iq it's the source.

When you look at an alternate source and still don't get it

Try some more sources, obviously.

That's interesting that you say that. For me, when I'm trying to learn something about computer programming and I can't understand it, I 100% assume it's the source. If I can't understand any of the sources, I assume the concept is bullshit made up by normies trying to sound smart.

I don't take this approach for learning math. I'm really good at computer programming, and not really good at math.
