i cant speak for Ms. Strip, but what i think theyre saying is you go from yes/no to if/then pretty quickly when you realize everyone else is playin with a different deck than you.

that the answers someone else come up may not be wrong despite your opposite conclusion, because theres now theres a physical incident where you experienced that inadequacy, which was fueled by nothing more than you not knowing or not being provided with enough information to see the bigger picture, or at least the picture the other person sees

You go from "youre wrong" to "why are you right" pretty quickly
