Are we sure that he did not understand?  Might it not be possible
that he has not yet received the definitive posting which you assume he
can not understand?  Sometimes I receive postings weeks or months
after they are posted.

But there is also the possibility - now try to follow this closely --
there is the possibility that he is capable of understanding postings,
but there is some difference of opinion as to what constitutes a
"good argument".

As to the question of whether you should "waste more words", the answer
is most certainly, no you should not.  But I rather suspect that you
will.
