Many of these explanations are certainly not ELI5. Why have a sub Refdit called ELI5 when people who are highly educated do not like the simplistic answers. Granted the simple answers may sound incomplete, or even incorrect to the highly educated. However, unless an explanation is way off base, then allow the people who try to communicate with the ELI5 readers to be less than perfect in their answers. Consider this, if you do not know much about why inflation or recession occur do you want a Harvard economics professor to explain it to you, or do you want a 5th grade teacher who minored in economics to explain it to you?
