Maybe the best analogy is to data translation. You can have a DVD. You could memorize (let’s pretend) every zero and every one in that DVD. But if you don’t have a DVD player, you can never watch it
A better analogy would be: you have a DVD and a complete set of schematics
for a DVD player, and the ability to understand both, but still can’t figure out what
the DVD would look like when viewed.
