How the Feynman technique can exclude quieter voices in discussion groups

Our book club started using the Feynman technique to explain themes to each other, but some members get intimidated when they can't articulate their understanding clearly and have stopped participating actively. The people who are naturally good at explanation are taking over, and we're losing the diversity of perspectives that made our discussions rich.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Emphasis on clear articulation can inadvertently silence members whose understanding is valid but less easily verbalized, reducing group wisdom.
