In the context of non-Astronaut Earth-dwellers, this is a quality which refers to someone who is grounded without being in trouble. They have no choice but to consume and trust the information received from their senses. They attempt to understand what you're attempting to communicate and attempt to assure you that they are able to & capable of attempting to make sense of it.
