Don't I know that phrase all too well...  It reminds me of my high school
algebra teacher. "You skip steps and don't show your work. Usually you get
the right answer but if you don't I have no idea where you went wrong."

I'll admit I still don't have much patience for videos where someone
spends five minutes shuffling stuff around the equals sign, multiplying or
dividing here and there. Some things are kind of obvious.
