|62 = '''The exact measure of one’s understanding of anything is rather the extent to which one can couch one’s understanding of it in words; and the measure of one’s understanding of someone else’s explanation is one’s ability to explain his explanation in one’s own terms. Accordingly, one of the most efficacious ways to develop one’s understanding of anything is to try to explain it to someone else; teaching does return a reward. For explaining one’s experience forces one to give narrative form to it; and as the words come and the sentences flow, the information is organized and systematized: the facts “fall into place.”''' | |||
