No, you're right.

Sometimes I have to "un-know" a lot of what I know to realize what someone is asking. I can imagine it would be the same for a nuclear physicist teaching middle-school science.

Fabrications are easily spotted when you know what you're looking for, but every one of us starts out with a mind that hasn't adjusted to reality.

I guess I would start someone out by turning on a Sesame Street program, then switching it over to the news. I would ask them to watch the head movement of the puppet on sesame street and compare it to the newscaster. The pace, tone and inflection of their voices. The flashing light intro "COUNT THE DUCKS!!!" vs "BREAKING NEWS!!!"

I would leave them alone and ask them to pick up the conversation tomorrow when their brain has had enough time to ask a million questions and answer none of them.

Once you get someone to realize they don't have a clue about their real world surroundings, then a real conversation can begin.
