Aren't pointers just an ID given to a verible that currosponds to its "true" position in the array of bytes thay make up a program's memory? I feel like I'm missing something

I doubt that you're missing anything about pointers themselves. I may not have done a good job articulating why non-programmers have a hard time understanding them.
