There are many things worth just “trying your best”. I try to understand many of Eliezer’s posts and when I succeed (once in a long while) I find it very rewarding. I understood this one. And the one about the zebra. Son it’s not a complete waste of my time. (Some would say: “your employer’s time”. Whatever) However, if I were to put enough effort into it to understand his posts always, I’d probably be fired for one of two reasons: wasting too much paper printing articles not related to work, or not doing any work. (Either that or I would have to have my own Internet connection, my own computer and so on, but I’d rather eat) So I’m quite happy with just trying.
