"No, maybe that wasn’t it. Words precede and surpass me, they tempt and alter me, and if I am not careful it will be too late: things will be said without my having said them. Or, at the very least, that wasn’t the only thing. My entanglement comes from how a carpet is made of so many threads that I can’t resign myself to following just one; my ensnarement comes from how one story is made of many stories. And I can’t even tell them all— a more truthful word could from echo to echo cause my highest glaciers to crumble down the precipice." - Clarice Lispector

Electric motors are radically simple at the heart of how they work, understanding a combustion engine is like going to medical school for an alien species in comparison.
I mean that isn't even getting into all the black magic wizardy transmission design that low torque odd power curve combustion engines necessitate!
If someone tells you they understand a normal combustion engine commuter car transmission they are either a transmission expert or a scammer, whereas you can make an electric motor literally with a battery, wire and some magnets.
