(I more or less do have the background to read these things, but it's super off-putting to start the article about a crazy new proof from a Fields medallist with an introduction to manifolds.)
Eg breakdown the explanation of the Hodge diamond on P6 of the paper LI5
Here's how en.wiki (with diagram!!) does it -- which I thought could have been handwaved better in TFA:
Mirror symmetry translates the dimension number of the (p, q)-th differential form h^(p,q) for the original manifold into h^(n-p,q) of that for the counter pair manifold.
(n=4 for the paper)

To call this an idea from string theory, is giving string theory too much credit (imho)
I think it's nice someone wrote about this, even if it's super technical and I cannot understand it completely.
I got it for free!
I think Steve Jobs very much enjoyed life, and you know what kind of an attitude he had about things.
We're all wired up differently.
It all gets pretty incomprehensible after that, but that's not the author's fault.
"You want many folds!" We gottem!
