LeWitt in Progress

On page 254 Krauss quotes LeWitt saying that when he does a wall drawing he accompanies it with an explanation but the "idea is always unstated." My first question is:
What is the difference between the explanation and the idea? Isn't his explanation a description of his idea?
My second question is:
If there is a difference that I'm not seeing, than why doesn't he state the idea alond with or instead of the explanation?
