Welcome to the "Teddy bear effect". :-)
I used to teach at University level. It quickly became obvious to me that
to really know a subject well one must teach it.
Too often, however, I felt that I was subject to the brick wall effect
rather than to the teddy bear effect.
I prefer to think of this as the "watering the horse" effect. As in,
you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink -- but if you
lead him in deep enough, you can drown him.
Don't repeat that to my dean.
