The main problem is that Greengrass just has the camera shaking a bunch to create strong tension. In the editing room, the editor watches the clips multiple times, which causes his eyes to get used to it and he knows what's going to happen next and can understand what's going on, so he edits those clips together, knowing what happens. First-time viewers then have no clue what the hell is going on since they haven't seen the footage before, but the editor has and is used to it.
"I come in peace!"
"But you go in pieces, a**hole!"
