The author has the ability to cut through rational plane but comes shor

Hi

I heard someone saying something like that the author has the ability to cut through rational plane but comes short when he comes to emotional plane.

Do you find that someone's statement correct? Please let me know. Thanks.

Dear Jackson In English, a plane can mean a flat surface. To "cut through a plane" means to get past the surface - like a diver who cuts through the surface of the water Used as a metaphor, the rational plane is what we normally understand about objects, time and space. To cut through the rational plane is to have a good understanding of how things work in the world The emotional plane is about feelings.
