I think it’s a bit more than that. I think that the idea is that you simplify the problem so that the rubber duck could understand it. Or at least reformulate it in order to communicate it clearly.

It’s the simplification, reformulation or reorganisation that helps to get the breakthrough.

Just thinking out loud isn’t quite the same thing.

  You mean “flavour”, right? Another small but important difference.

    As far as I am aware it is a regional difference in spelling, and that is what I get when searching for definitions.

    Explain why “flavor” is wrong, as if I was a rubber duck. You can use any help you like, including a dictionary.

thinking out loud

When your legs don’t work like they used to before

And I can’t sweep you off of your feet
