The third sentence always ruins it

I was just watching someone explain a spreadsheet pivot table to a colleague, and the moment they said 'so basically, you want to isolate the outliers by date range' — I knew it. The third sentence in any explanation is where the magic dies. Either they lose their thread or overcomplicate it. I’ve seen brilliant people get derailed by that one line. Boring as hell, but also kind of beautiful in its predictability.
