The books and theory Isaac mentions are not unknown to John. He's made some faltering attempts to grasp that kind of knowledge, but it had felt more like trying to read another language. There was some foundation John simply didn't have.
"There's a few things I know that you might find familiar, but I think largely what I know to do isn't going to be recognizable."
And some defensive instinct wards against sharing too much.
"Especially if these lessons entail...redefining my instincts, so to speak."
