 "We were at a loose end, so I decided to explain to her that grammar
is monostratal." This is not justification, but at the same time
it is not explaining the workings; rather, it is making an assertion
in a way that explains the grounds for that assertion. There is a
didactic element. One gets the reader to understand the assertion
as it is being asserted, by the characterstics of the assertion.

You're right. When I started writing my essay on 'explain' I though
there were three meanings, but I lost one of them somewhere.
This one is something like 'tcilysku' (Detail express) or
'selja'esku' (cause of result express).
