You have problems understanding my viewpoint; for some reason, you dismiss the notion that people may have different levels of learning.

I do not. I've already asked you to be less sure of yourself.

In a similar way to that event where you couldn't understand my point, users often have problems understanding whatever we write, whether in manuals, emails, or verbally, regardless of the method. I hope you get it.

It was obvious to me before you said it.

It requires the teaching party to understand the level of understanding of the student, and then to break it down in an accessible way that the student may grasp it.

That is feedback for the authors of the manual.

If it were that easy that each student could learn and understand only through books, we would not need any teachers or professors to talk or interact with people; we would only need plain books and pointers to them.

I understand your point, and I've never said the understanding should only be through books. I only said the attempt should begin with the books in order to respect and assist the attempts of the authors.
