Comment: Art where you have to read stuff in order to understand it, so you do the reading, and even though some of the words are pretty big, not to mention the phrases, not to mention the concepts, you get through it. Now you understand some of the art or at least you think you do, but the rest you still don't get, so you start having thoughts like, "Maybe I should have paid more attention in Thermodynamics" or "I bet The President won't understand any of it no matter how much he reads."
