Experts forget what it felt like not to know. Their brains have compressed all the small steps into one move, so when they explain it they skip the part that's actually tripping you up. The person who learned it last year still remembers the confusing parts and can point at the exact thing that finally clicked for them. I spent three months stuck on a guitar technique my teacher kept saying was 'just feel it,' then a guy two rows ahead in class fixed it in ten minutes by telling me which knuckle to lead with.
