Brother, I am a simple minded Salafi: I don't understand what you mean. If the attributes do not change, then why does the explanation of them change? That makes no sense.

It makes perfect sense.
The Sahabah (radhi allahu anhum) didn't discuss complex theological issues, yet among all groups, the Asharis and the Hanbalis, there were different discussions. Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah's explanation against kalam was completely different from that of Imam Ahmad's explanations of why kalam is wrong.
Explanations change over time. Do you have any evidence to suggest otherwise?
