I'm twisting the question a bit but people who are extremely good in their own field are more often than not very bad at explaining concepts related to it to laymen and they get worse the more they know.

I knew someone would share it

That's a major skill I learned while training for my flight instructor certificate, how to break down concepts for the uninitiated. Make no mistake that is a skill you have to learn and practice.

No. The opposite, in a way. Curse of Knowledge.

Dunning Kruger is having just enough knowledge about a subject that you think you know more than you do because you don't realize how much there is to know and some also add to that the shift that happens the more you know about a subject where you end up realizing there's so much more to learn so you underestimate your knowledge.
