Well... I could

    ...but I won't wouldn't have -- before OP's augmentation below.

If you know, and the person you'll be directing here is your peer or subordinate, there's no reason to inconvenience multitudes of electrons to -- educate the other person / win your bet / whatever. That's what peers and supervisors are for.

And if your target audience is someone who is your workplace and classroom superior, think of the rewards providing your own explanation -- with well-researched and thoughtfully-presented documentation.

Note that I have not assumed inappropriate laziness nor any misrepresentation of your knowledge (but neither have I rejected either as a working hypothesis). However, I do believe this <update>was</update> is a hopelessly inappropriate SOPW.

Update: Most objections satisfied. See OP's reply (below) which provided sufficient information to justify (IMO) approving the original node, above.
