People like simplicity. What they care about is their emotions. I always give them answers “ all computers will stop working” or “all transactions will be rejected” 😂 They get it!

You should be able to find a non-technical jargon to explain the issue, especially if you're part of a team.
Sooner or later, someone who does not understand code, is going to make a budgeting decision, and they will make it based on how well they understand the issues.
Einstein's most significant talent, was his ability to explain the most complex topics, using language everyone is capable of understanding.

You couldn't explain it in basic terms so they'd get the gist of it, since they asked?

@HannahSky this was more meant to highlight the humorous nature of technical jargon matching English words but containing entirely different definitions in a way that each word means something different to listener than it does the speaker and in so doing loses coherency as a sentence despite knowing each word spoken in the sentence.
It's not a dig at anyone's intelligence, but rather poking fun at both the English language and technical terminology re-using words for new concepts rather than inventing new words. I have been on the listener side of this exchange as well in fields I am not knowledgeable in.
