Well, my concern is that in simplifying, there is necessarily loss in meaning. A simplification of a simplification can easily start losing its relevance to the original subject. Ideological data decay, you might call it. Every person-to-person transmission of an idea here in 3D is going to be imperfect as it's translated into words and then into whatever the reader\listener thinks those words mean. With each reiteration, the statement becomes less and less similar to the original thought.
I mean, there literally are not even words for some of the things Ra tried to describe. That makes accurate distillations of the material a very tricky business.
