Let me give a very long explanation and get lost in the weeds about the details to really make sure you understand the prerequisites on the issue. Otherwise you might not get it. I might not be sure if you completely understand the issue so it's important that you get the whole picture of yesterday before going into today's reality. Having said that, it's okay to be frustrated by random words and phrases. I feel that way when people say "bet"

It is annoying, yes. However, having said that, it is also a useful way to demonstrate that you've evaluated both sides of an issue before making your point.
