them: "what are relays?"

me: "uhhhh, don't worry about it"

 also, as a foreigner

i have zero idea what the word relay even means.

so if anything, we should repackage the concept under another word, and simplify it.

or, simplify the inputs and outputs, and keep it a magical black box that the user shouldn't worry about

 Yeah, but I just mean it's a bit of a faff for an onboardee, they don't need to bother, best imo to jump in and figure out if it's necessary and how to do it later
