Again, Avoid Jargon


It's hard to hear what Lister says to Cat that finally helps him understand the "magic door" here, but it's clear the explanations Lister and Rimmer offered before that just weren't doing what Cat needed.

And while it might seem childish to refer to such a phenomenon -- whatever it is -- as a "magic door," but it could be the basis of an explanation that would eventually leave the magic behind and help Cat -- and us -- make more sense of the world we live in.

So don't dismiss simple explanations; use them as the springboard for discussion.
