Some of it may just be not knowing the "rules" or architecture of a system. Lack of familiarity with background information and context that some others might already know. The confusion seems to be about knowledge of systems. You couldn't put somebody who had never seen a basketball game on the court and expect him to be an effective player. Some times we can equip ourselves in advance by reading the playbook. In college, that's why they publish those thick college handbooks and tell you in orientation to read them asap. Then, when some bureaucrat or professor starts babbling technogook, you might be able to pick up on a few points and be able to ask enough relevant questions to get a grasp of it.


This is a good point.
