There's a difference between "it explains what's going on" and "you're 
supposed to understand it."

Consider, for example, the typical time-travel paradox story. It can explain 
what happens quite clearly without you understanding what's going on.

The sequence at the end of 2001 is the hyper-intelligent alien whatever 
magically transporting Dave. Even tho Dave says "it's full of stars", you 
aren't necessarily understanding *how* or *why* it is full of stars.
