Well, yes and no, Ernie! There is a big difference between writing for a non-technical audience and communication between scientists or engineers. I have read technical papers that required a whole helluva lot of work to understand, but the science or engineering was brilliant and the communication precise and exacting. I have sat in meetings where technical experts were throwing around words so thick it was all I could do to keep up, only to witness breakthroughs that produced important results. A lot of innovation happens in somebody's garage, but a whole lot more of it requires serious science and engineering, and the complex language that goes along with it. No other form of communication would work as well, even though sometimes it doesn't work at all. Admittedly, nothing much *useful* gets done until they *translate* it into words for the rest of us! <grin> So be patient. Ignore the worst of it. Let 'em argue it out. Wait for the executive summary and the 5 minute Power Point presentation. <LOL> Be well, Mike D.
