I suppose that's a relief. Dare I ask what their previous explanations were like?

Hemmingway-esque would be too complimentary. Short, trite, but frustratingly vague. And never without the stench of condescension.

What on earth would they have to be condescending about?

The old children's taunt. "I know something you don't know."

Well, that gives me a good idea of their level of maturity.

They definitely don't seem like the sort of people cut out to be meddling with the machinations they have apparently been entrusted with.
