How do I explain that a partial is not a total?

After returning home from Spain where I experienced an awesome total eclipse, I’ve lost count of the times people have told me they were unimpressed by the eclipse. Every unimpressed viewer of course had witnessed a partial eclipse. I’ve tried comparing in terms of a house-cat and a full grown wild tiger. A total is a beast by comparison. I don’t think it’s hitting home sadly. I guess seeing is believing and that’s all I can say.
