That seems really straightforward to me, ita !. What are they not getting?
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Yeah, I think I understand what you're talking about but maybe I'm making a lot of assumptions based on my own experience. Maybe it's just the lack of context that is the stumbling block? Even if the context is not relevant to the requirements?

Because books.
Maybe people aren't sure which subset of users they belong to?

- Kirk and Spock can see the documents, but not the rest of the crew.
- The Red Shirts can't see the documents, which predict their demise, but the rest of the crew can.
- Spock can make some parts of the information visible only to officers, and can make some parts of the documents, such as the ones that say "The Red Shirts are going to die," invisible to only the Red Shirts.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Ginger wins. Quick, give her command of a starship.

only 11 and I am HUNgry. I have healthy frozen meal options in the freezer, but am craving something else. Not sure what. Probably a fried food sampler platter, but that may not be the best idea. thoughts? suggestions?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What are they not getting?
Unfortunately, as much as I beg, no one will give me that much detail. And the context that keeps being sent around to flesh out my insufficient documentation is 80% inapplicable to my system. So I consider *it* confusing, not me.
Maybe people aren't sure which subset of users they belong to?
No, it's not even that. I mean, the real life examples are so simple, that's part of why I feel like going into that detail is condescending (basically, the new users aren't allowed to see the pay details of the old users, and vice versa). Boom. End of story.
The temptation to "accidentally" slip Ginger's explanation in is quite tempting. I already have "genre geek" branded on my forehead (my boss won't even use the phrase "twilight zone" without *literally* nodding in my direction), so what would be the harm?

Handful of nuts? Nuts and yogurt are my go to snacks. The power of protein!
But, that's assuming you have these options available.

Star Trek is probably the most mainstream geek.
