Absolutely agree. I'd go so far as to say this is one of the real strengths of mathematical naming conventions.
You are absolutely on point with the contrast to Law; I have degrees in both subjects, and this has also been my experience.
Jargon exists for a reason. The deeper the field, the better the jargon needs to be to allow proper communication. The fact that we can communicate complex mathematical ideas in language at all is a minor miracle.
