Yeah they do make sense if you understand the concept. But they don't help someone who is wanting to understand the concept. The thread question is "how many scales are in a mode". I explained that modes exist within modes but they work out to be pre-existing modes. <>. He says he can't believe it and when asked why he restated what I said, "modes within a mode? that's extended knowledge". Then he goes on to what else could be said. Perhaps an explaination of why it's extended knowledge, instead of the short story. The question is whom is he addressing?? Not someone who is asking a question cause to them it's jibberish. Instead assume they don't understand and explain. There's alot more to say than "modes within a mode? that is extended knowledge". Why? Because they clearly do not understand the concept, so it helps to show them why that concept is overthoughtful. Not just that it's extended knowledge.

That and talking like that does make you sound above another, better to talk with them.
