Everything is easily understood...
Everything is easily understood (if it's ever eventually and fully understood at all) in context. Only in context. Doesn't really matter what it is... any and all problematical chess board positions; stated/unstated topics or mixed motivations underlying internet bulletin board and public forum threads; seemingly brilliant, highly entertaining or superficial garden variety posts; letters from the postal service; emails from friends/strangers near or far; demanding literary works; scripture itself; scientific treatises; academic findings; medical jargon; news media posturing; comic delivery; messages in corked bottles coming ashore at high tide; phone conversations; people with life experiences, values, styles which may be totally different from our own. Out of context, most all of what we imagine we perceive in our immediate circle of the larger world makes little if any sense at all. You agree? Disagree? ~gb

For example, why was this goal scored?
&feature=related
If you played hockey at a competitive level the answer is quite clear, but if you've never played hockey at a competitive level you will NEVER understand. No amount of explaining in the world would help ANYONE understand if they've never laced up the skates at a competitive level.

Several Canadians said that's not why, but wouldn't explain the reasoning in terms I as a "NON COMPETITIVE HOCKEY PLAYER" could understand.
It's just a BIG FREAKING MYSTERY.
VR knows, but he can't tell you the answer or the multiverse would collapse on itself.
