NARROW VS WIDE COMMUNICATION
Have you ever thought about how you actually communicate with others when you have to explain something ?
If you communicate narrowly, you are addressing a small group that is assumed to possess the necessary prior knowledge to understand what you are talking about.
The vast majority choose this method, because this is the easiest for themselves and the target group.
However, this limits the spread of knowledge to a single group, and excludes those who lack the necessary insight.
I believe that one's knowledge should reach as many people as possible, and to achieve this it must be widely communicated, so that everyone understands a little of what is being discussed.
I read technical articles daily in many fields, and these all have in common that terminological expressions are used that only the target group understands, and anyone who lacks the understanding of these has limited benefit from reading.
All these terminological expressions can be converted into a language everyone understands by using simple associations, but require a certain educational knowledge of the article's author.
A gifted writer is able to convey terminological expressions in an understandable way for a broad target group, even if this lacks the basic knowledge.
