All they'd have to do is throw in some useful examples and many students would get it a lot faster
Yes! Had high school acquaintances that near failed everything. If they wanted to know how much force it took to push an outside mirror through a quarter mile, however, they'd figure it out.
Similarly I had a college stat prof that would dictate a table of numbers for analyses and then ask several students what their major might be. To the ag student they were calf weights. To a wildlife major they were fish lengths. Foresters it was timber yield etc. Only prof that got a standing ovation from the class at the end of his final lecture.
Sadly, the college promoted him into administration. Should have paid him bigger bucks and left him in teaching.
