This is an amusing conversation to me, as I find that I spend an inordinate amount of my work day trying to simplify and clarify complicated science so it is clear to "the layman". In my experience, I have found that those who are most wordy and heavy-handed with terminology often don't understand the topic very well. I am reading a book of lectures by Edward Teller that explains the theory of relativity (chapter 1 in fact) using nothing more than 8th grade math (he ties Pythagoreum theorum in 3 dimensions to the task) and a conversational tone. I am having a hard time believing that the discussion of a PC watercooling component demands a larger vocabulary.
