    I think you’re probably right, at least when the participants are all familiar with the concept and prepared to get more detailed. On a forum post where someone is ostensibly being introduced to the idea for the first time I worry that trying to get into all of the nuance might be overwhelming when the other person most likely just needs ‘the basic idea’ to get what someone means. Given that the left is full of nuanced jargon I feel like this is a perennial problem of balancing accessibility and thoroughness.

      Totally get that. I was probably just being a little bit of an ass because I had seen some similar things earlier that I thought missed the mark.
