Years ago I and three other people were training for a tech support job. Our trainer was explaining something (the tracert command) but I didn't understand it because his explanation didn't seem to make sense. After asking him more questions about it, I realized from his contradictory answers that he didn't understand it either. The reason I mention this is that my three fellow trainees had no problem with his explanation, one even explicitly saying that she thought it made perfect sense.
During my military radio ops course, I realized that the woman teaching us about different frequencies literally thought that 'higher' frequencies were higher off the ground. Like you, I found her explanations deeply confusing, though I suspect most of the other candidates would have said it made sense. (Despite being false, this theory was good enough to enable radio operations - though presumably not engineering).
Thankfully I already had a decent founding in EM, otherwise I would have yet more cached garbage to clear - sometimes it's worse than finding the duplicate mp3s in my music library.
