Why is it that the default argument when confronted with criticism is "you don't understand"?
That's so weak. If it was clear at all what was to be understood, there would not be a discussion about understanding.
The fact of the matter is that like any conspiracy nut, you retreat to the safety of a remark like that because it allows you to both evade the discussion entirely as well as attempts to elevate you in the discussion intellectually without having to say a word as the implication is then that you "understand" whereas anyone that has questions or criticisms "doesn't understand" and therefore are right to be ignored (thus saving you the trouble of actually having to take a position with well reasoned argument).
