This is an outstanding explanation.

Many have given such an explanation, to many with more or less the same
problem but with less expletives, but this one is otstanding.

Would someone please put this in some FAQ or another, then tell us all
where exactly that FAQ is, as quickly as possible, so that people would
have something to point other people at, without having to get the
jitters and repeat all that Jon has said ad infinitum, ho hum.
