I didn't mean that teachers get a pass on opaque vocabulary when they're teaching students. I meant that, just like every other profession, they have a technical vocabulary that they use to discuss their own profession with other teachers.
On the other hand, only maybe 1% of the population has to suffer thru garbage collector theory in CS classes, and of that 1%, maybe only 0.0001% ever implement a GC "in the real world" and can understand that post. There just aren't that many GC programmers and there are a lot of humans in the general public. In that case jargon is perfectly acceptable, even expected. Also the core of a programmers job is rarely making public presentations.
