(Reminds me of a joke. Not sure if it will survive translation and internetization, but let's try.)

Two university professors talk with each other, and one of them says: "You know, I have this problem, and it's bothering me. I teach dialectics for years, but I don't understand what it really means."

The other professor, helpfully: "That's easy. I can explain it to you right now!"

The first professor: "No, thanks. I can explain it, too."
