This quote is often used to say that it's important to communicate simply. But some people say that it's not always possible to make things simple. They say that some things are just naturally complicated, and that not everyone understands things at the same level. Also, sometimes the problem itself is difficult, and that can make it hard to explain things simply.
Even so, simplifying complex ideas can help people communicate better. When we use simple language, it's easier for everyone to understand, no matter how much they know about the topic. When we explain things simply, it's easier for people to connect with what we're saying. And when we're clear and to the point, people are more likely to learn and understand.
Usually, people who really understand something can explain it in simple terms. Einstein's quote might not be true in every situation, but it's often true that keeping things simple is the best way to communicate.
