I am just the opposite of this! When you mentioned it, I remembered incidents with my step dad where I needed him to show me a procedure with a computer, or some other instrument, and he started by teaching me how the whole darn thing is made and works! I couldn’t stand it! I was begging him to please just show me which buttons he needed me to press.

For me understanding doesn't have to be knowing all the gory details. Sometimes it is just knowing the overview of the system so I kinda know how things work together. That way I don't have to keep asking the same question over again & I can usually figure it out the next time I have a question.
Lol....I save the knowing the gory details for the people I have to hire to do the deeper level work that I can't possibly do or don't have the equipment to do. But knowing what I do helps me figure out the things I can & saves me from having to hire help for every little thing that ends up needing fixed or figured out & saves me money I don't have.
Different minds work differently & that is a very good thing because that is what makes people good at different things....important for all societies.
