I have a question. I usually see people use "Can you tell me more about it?", so in this case, can it be used interchangeably with "Help me understand why"? Thank u!!

"Can you tell me more about it?" is one I use a lot. But sometimes people don't really tell you why - which is the core that we're trying to get to. So it takes a few more tries for them to tell us exactly what we're looking for. "Help me understand why" explicitly tells them that we're looking for "why", not "how" or "what".

As someone who asks people "Why?" for a living, I can confirm that this is a legit advice 👍 Thanks for sharing!
