At the risk of getting my head cut off I would like to add a bit.
Yes you did explain it.
However, from my experience at trying over many years (40+) not to get too technical when explaining something electronic, either in a lecture or a meeting, to an audience not skilled in the area, I would suggest that you should have abbreviated it a lot.
You were talking to someone who claimed to be ignorant in the field, so most of what you said would have confused him and he may have stopped reading too early to see your answer. Which was in fact nearly at the end.
I would have put it at the start and then said the rest as an explanation should he wish to read more. Then those who do not want to know can "go to sleep" and those who wish more detail can then read on. This approach covers a variety of skills in your audience.
