I know... sigh. It makes me feel the same way.

I am not sure how to reconcile it, just that some sort of compromise has to be found. Is it enough to just acknowledge to them that some things might not make sense to them, and that it is always a good thing to ask questions, even if the answers cannot be found right away?

(iow, rather than making their acceptance of the information the end result, instead focus on the process by which they accept information? And letting them know that ambiguity and doubt is okay?)
