It's never too late if your goal is discussion. You do this well(or try to) and I'll take your side against anyone who gives you a hard time for it.
I believe the hypothetical is very simple. People need to learn the ability that Rhythm has - to understand a proposition without necessarily accepting it. Without this basic ability, we can't successfully philosophise, as you have seen thus far.
