easier to explain

I was sitting between a Chinese artist and an American teacher at a concert the other day. The teacher had seen a brochure of the artists work, and was asking him many questions (slowed by my translating) about them. The artist, frustrated by his inability to answer, said that we should meet up at his gallery, where in the presence of the works he would be better able to answer.

It isn't easy for a teacher to teach yin-yang and the 5 elements from the head of a classroom with only a chalkboard, and it isn't easy to teach clinical material outside of the clinic.
