It is impossible for you to put yourself in the shoes of someone who does not know anything, as I know full-well that you are capable of working all of that out.
You have minimized the importance of your contribution. The seal hunt is not a question of instruction, but a question of education. That is not the same thing. Some people have PhDs and do not understand anything, whereas others, who have never gone to school, are much more knowledgeable. Be it in the Magdalen Islands or Newfoundland and Labrador, seal hunters talk about the animal with respect.
