I don't like the snarky tone of your comment. However, I do want to encourage learning. So if you are genuinely curious, try asking for a better explanation here: http://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/

I don't like the patronising tone of your comment. However, I do want to encourage discourse. So if you're genuinely interested in helping people understand, try rephrasing your comment to not imply that five year olds should be conversant with linear algebra.

PS: Now that's a snarky tone. My original comment was merely lightly sarcastic.

I don't know many six year olds that would have no issue with that description. ot's reply clears things up nicely, but again, I doubt to the simplicity which you are suggesting he needs.

Besides, I read sarcasm, not snark.
