    I think it’s a bit more than that. I think that the idea is that you simplify the problem so that the rubber duck could understand it. Or at least reformulate it in order to communicate it clearly.

    It’s the simplification, reformulation or reorganisation that helps to get the breakthrough.

    Just thinking out loud isn’t quite the same thing.

      thinking out loud

      When your legs don’t work like they used to before

      And I can’t sweep you off of your feet

          As far as I am aware it is a regional difference in spelling, and that is what I get when searching for definitions.

          What small but importance difference are you referring to?
