When I read the contributors to the French and Anglo-Saxon forums, when
I read Einstein (three lines of explanation) or Poincaré (one line of
explanation), I realize that it is very insufficient.

 You are free to read other authors if you think those two are insufficient.
After all, they have had more time to think how to explain, probably also
more experience about explaining.

 Lire ne suffit pas.

That depends on your purposes. For some putposes it is sufficient, for
others a good start.

Chacun lit ce que d'autres ont lu, et on tourne en rond.

Of course. Whenever possible, the author should be the first person to
read the text, then the co-authors if there are any, and the editors
and reviewers.
About our current topic, the best texts are well tested even before they
are written. Their authors have presented the material many times to their
students and have answered their students questions and that way have
learned how to present what they want to present, and also what to present
in the elementary book and what in an advanced book.

Il faut ré-écrire les choses, et si possible en langage universellement compréhensible, afin que cela soit clair pour tous, et qu'on arrête un peu ce grand bluff minkowskien qui pourrit l'histoire de l'humanité.

Of course, and that is done, even about topics that are covered by
ancient books; for all important and many other topics.
