Its redeemability converts the redemptors into rent-chargers, and, according to an official report quoted in Mr. Dowell’s “History of Taxation in England,” ever since Pitt’s rearrangement the unredeemed amounts have been regarded as a fixed charge on properties, subject to which they have been bought and sold many times over.

It's hard to appreciate the full pathological depths of mansplaining unless you've read late-period Heinlein, an experience comparable to being trapped in an elevator for six hours with a boorish know-it-all offering his theories on economics, politics, sex, aesthetics, military strategy, investing and myriad other topics.
“Cognitive therapy” is the fancy clinical term for what is otherwise known as “mansplaining.”
