I assume you're talking about the "ancient alien" theorists. Are there actually some things that are "impossible" from our current knowledge of their tech tree? I always assumed it was just like "well I'm a lazy modern human and if I pushed these bricks up a ramp I would collapse" sort of thing.
I'm talking about ancient aliens, Graham Hancock, and general woo woo pseudo historian babble. Anyways most of the big mysteries at this point are a matter of specifics like we know how they did every step before and after step five but they didn't write down step five type shit. Either that or it's just weird artifacts that we just aren't precisely sure what they are let alone what they were used for, for example those weird Roman dodecahedrons.
But yeah most of these folks are pointing to shit like stone henge and going "we have no clue how they built these" even though we do know how they were built, for context stone henge was built using sleds, dirt ramps, and lots of manpower. Problem is we have the broad strokes for these but are missing specifics like did they water down the path the sleds went on, did they reuse the dire for other things nearby, or how much manpower did they use. Experimental archeology only gets you so far when you're working with what amounts to a multiple choice question with no mechanically wrong answers, we know the answer is 16 but the maths they used to get there are unknown.

When you realize the amount you have to teach them before they can even understand your point...

Just add semi colons and brackets, right?
No that's PHP.

But also, don't think you have to do all the work yourself. I think we very often underestimate the importance of being the one that simply plants the seed. Of course the difficulty is that usually we can't tell if said seed has actually been planted, so it feels like a waste of energy.
Sshush! You ate giving the tankies ideas!

You gotta switch their gears from defense ive/debate mode before they'll even consider what you have to say.
Even then you won't see the positive change in the moment. It'll come 2 years later while they're drying their hair and it all clicks
As an autistic individual who already has enough trouble with social interaction, asking me to dance around the fragile emotional state of someone being willfully ignorant might as well be the same as asking me to sprout wings and fly.

Imagine being this arrogant

I was a TA in a class that expected knowledge of C. A lot of students who had only ever used Python asked if I could ring them up to speed. One student even asked if he could write it in Python and then I could "just translate it over"
Tbf I blame whoever did was planning the prerequisites. CS majors actively wish NOT to learn any more languages than they physically have to in my experience.

Either absolutely true or most arrogant shit I seen.
What's the context? -

Yeah if it's not in your skill set no shame in leaving this labour to someone more suited to it
