The story you referenced of the prince who thought he was a turkey is an interesting take on teaching others. And to that I agree that there are better ways and worse ways to teach someone. But that isn't regarding to what you teach them only on how to teach them, and try to reach them. Any teacher with a struggling student can try to take on the student's struggles and reach them in a way that they understand the subject matter. But they still try to teach the student the subject matter.

A math teacher still will try to make math relatable and understandable to a struggling student they try to help. The same is true of a history teacher, or a science teacher, or even a teacher who tries to train someone in a trade or in the ability to play a musical instrument. The subject matter being difficult is not a reason to avoid the subject if that subject is still worth teaching. This is where you and I disagree. I see Buddha as a man who taught on a subject that wasn't related to God. It wasn't out of consideration for his audience not being able to understand the context, any more then a math teacher doesn't teach history to his class is because the teacher doesn't think they'll get it. They don't teach a subject because that's not the subject they are focused on.
