Parent here. That's the implication, but my intent was somewhat gentler, along the lines of "Using what appears to be professional language shortcuts common in an industry is sometimes suboptimal when communicating with interested laypersons." I'm making a few assumptions there (first that "discovered" has a commonly accepted meaning in the field and second that that's how it's being used ... and I guess third that there are probably more laypersons than theoretical physicists on HN). I just don't want to hear from my curious but uninformed cousin that "hey did you hear that black holes are just space knots??!!" any more than I have to.
