straightline: "Can you provide the logic behind this?"

I knew a guy for several years. He asked me once why I didn't put salt and pepper on my eggs.
I told him curtly, "Eggs don't have any taste so why should I want to taste just plain old salt and pepper."
He just looked at me sort of stunned. He remarked how I just put his shxt in the street.

A couple of your replies to my post are rather good.
Eggs don’t have any taste?
 
World class pocket billiards performers still know what they know but realize there is no use explaining it.
The questions would never stop.
There are so many people who want to know.
They would never be left alone.

Gorst knows. And he could explain it.
But what for?

What were you before you were human?
Gorst: Different.
Different how?
Gorst: It would only frighten you.

Gorst is not an alien
Gorst is not A.I.
But some people believe he is someone they need to exalt.
And believe others should do so as well.
Go figure.

What do any of you think he knows about aligning a cue stick to make
a shot that you don't know or wouldn't understand?
Or probably couldn't do if he explained it to you?
Get real.

He still knows what he's doing and has decided not to take the time to explain
because it is simply too much of a burden and not worth it.

But I'm sure at some level he thinks you are all very amusing.

I'm happy for him.
I just think you shouldn't sell yourself short.

What do they know?
Efficiency.
Years of practice has taught them efficiency.
In a nutshell, this is what they could teach you.
And save you an immense amount of time as a result.
Sorry, no.

They're just really good. The rest of us suck by comparison.
