"[...]imagine two students sitting next to each other [...] But, this is the irony: Mary is more likely to convince John than Professor Mazur, in front of the class. Because she has only recently learned it, and still has some feeling for the conceptual difficulties that she has. Whereas, Professor Mazur learned it such a long time ago, to him it is so clear that he can no longer understand why somebody has difficulty grasping it. That's the irony of becoming an expert in your field. It becomes not easier to teach; it becomes harder to teach because you are unaware of the conceptual difficulties of a beginning learner."
