I couldn't have. I didn't know how little you knew at that point.
I had to incrementally lower my expectations until it reached a level where I had to learn to communicate in "idiot".

And unfortunately, judging from your reply, I still failed to properly lower my standards to a point where a baboon could understand.
No offense to baboons. I'm sure they would have already understood they were wrong and dropped the subject.

I'm sorry I failed you. I don't speak your language. Forgive me.
