They were designing functionality that contained directory trees and didn’t understand directory trees. How is it my responsibility that this person is not qualified to do their own job?
If they designed a directory tree without knowing what a directory tree is, it sounds like they know what a directory tree is, they just don’t know the word, and you can’t explain the word properly.
They didn’t “design a directory tree” either. They were designing screens for a thing that sits on top of a directory tree, and they didn’t understand the underlying concept.
It was likely because they’re used to the abstraction that iPhones and iPads provide, where the underlying directory structures are largely hidden from users.
Anyone can understand a directory tree. Not everyone is smart enough to explain it.
