Well, I do understand how the technology you mentioned works, the principles behind them, and I have education sufficient to glean the principles behind technology unfamiliar to me. I have no idea what you're trying to say.
Incidentally, I'd just like to ask, respectfully, that you refrain from assumptively appropriating the meaning of my words to fit your point, whatever it may turn out to be. By that, I mean please avoid using the declarative combination "you do" when presenting it as a question; this does nothing but deliver a pre-emptive conclusion to the topic at hand and is an unfair and transparent attempt to put me in a defensive position. I have no problem with "do you", which implies a sincere request for knowledge and/or clarification.
