“Or perhaps your means of communicating them leaves much to be desired.”

What it sounds like
Perhaps the way you explain your ideas could be better.
What it really means
“Your writing or explanations are unclear—and perhaps the problem is your communication, not my ability to understand.”
Said today
“Maybe your ideas aren’t too complicated; maybe you’re just bad at explaining them.”
What was happening
Theo suggests the pamphlet’s ideas may be too taxing for Eloise’s mind. She counters with a polite-sounding jab at how he presents them, then he suggests she lacks worldly experience. Their exchange turns their disagreement into mutual teasing.
