Why can't some of us answer questions?

From the Record of Tung-shan:

One time the Master said, "If you would experience that which transcends even the Buddha, you must first be capable of a bit of conversation."

ewk ^book note ^index - Whether it was the AMA!! that brought down songhill, muju, zucchinipants, and so many others; whether it's the recent posts from this one or that one complaining about being asked about books... why is literacy such a barrier to these people? Why can't they discuss the texts?

Why is it that they insist on their own "experience" and yet want to name their insights after Zhaozhou and Wumen?
