I’m sure it can look that way to people who can’t think abstractly. I don’t know what minimum IQ you need.
Did you ever take an IQ test where you had to follow a set of gears to choose the answer what would happen at the end? Some gears rotated forward, then some gears would be rotated backward? And you didn’t know if the gearset was going to drop the marble in the bucket or not until you had successfully though through each turning? If you didn’t have the IQ necessary to follow the gear rotations, you got the answers wrong.
The strongest reason for not everybody being able to understand how tge Plan is progressing, is because if it’s easy to know, then our enemies would know. You’d have no surprise chess moves. They’d be able to prepare defenses and strategies. Thankfully, ‘these people are stupid’.
So if you can’t understand why it’s a long game, and don’t understand why ‘it had to be this way’, unfortunately you have to wear that deficit. But I don’t know if I’d self-identify that weakness on the one place which is all in on it. People here were chosen for a reason. Because they can follow the gears.
Buckle up, buttercup, as they say.
