Step two of Feynman Technique for Learning?

It’s basically the (theoretical) premise of this sub for the responders, and it’s a way of identifying gaps in your knowledge.
The idea is that only somebody who actually understands a topic thoroughly can dumb down their explanation enough for somebody with no experience studying it. If you find it difficult to explain part of it in a way a kid could understand it or if you have to use technical terms, that’s a place you yourself probably don’t have a full understanding of and it’s a good place to focus your further studies.
Once you know the subject well enough that you can explain it to anyone in a way that is easy to understand, then you probably know it well enough to only need to review it now and then.
