"Everyone needs to touch the stove"
Happy to tell them it is hot. And how heat works. Ways to identify and avoid touching hot stoves.
But 99.99% of that will be ignored.
Until they touch the stove, scream in agony, and out of their own will and insight, re-stumble upon a thing that was said to them a dozen times. But now they are seeing it with fresh eyes.
Even then, they'll understand 20% and fill in the rest with some batshit theory of their own. Which is a vast improvement!
