Writing research papers at a 6th grade reading level might be literally impossible. One major reason is that a lot of researchers learned English as a second or third language.

Which is perfectly fair, and just to be clear I don't think that all research should be written with the masses in mind either. I do suspect that there are things that could be done to make the language used a bit more accessible generally though, and a lot that could be done to improve the literacy of the typical American.
