> I was amused and irritated in equal measure when a senior manager at $LAST_JOB demanded that documents include "no jargon", then went on to use many terms like those you've listed here with no indication of awareness of the contradiction.

"No jargon" is alwys in reference to some assumed knowledge model.

For example, when I claim that my own math texts include "no jargon", this assumes the knowledge of a person who has studied, say, mathematics, physics or computer science.
