<<<I believe that this is a skill that can be taught, although it may

I would be very glad if you could demonstrate that it is a learnable
skill, and if so, I would be happy to be your student. However, as I
mentioned, many other people have tried to teach me this during the past
50+ years, and all of them have eventually given up in frustration.

I promise that I have not been intentionally obtuse.
