But I think what this video shows is that, despite some initial exasperation with the interviewer's muddled question, Feynman comes through as a superb communicator with an acute appreciation of what it is to explain something to someone. He may not be able to explain how magnets work in everyday terms, but he gives an excellent explanation of why there's no such explanation to be had.
