Lexplanations

Lexplanation: An explanation for the way things are based on what I think I know.

A fact is a fact. Explanations should derive from a set of facts. Any given lexplanation, however derives from a particular set of my understandings that may or may not all be factual. These ideas have been in my head so long that it either doesn't occur to me to second guess their validity, or I don't even wonder about the basis of my assessment until after it's already been made--at which point I generally point out that I may or may not have just provided lexplanation.

Ask me anything. I have an answer.
