Thank you for the reply, these are some really interesting insights. To the problem of laymen understanding any given article, I almost question if this is truly a bad thing? To me, it seems that the 'web' itself was meant in the beginning to help solve this problem in the sense that you could traverse up and down a network of related hyperlinks to gain the context/knowledge needed to understand the page at hand. This kind of leads me to the thought that maybe it's not the individual articles that are really at issue when it comes to the widest audience being able to read with understanding: maybe what is missing is the 'meta' structure which would allow a user to quickly understand what prerequisite knowledge they need, and where to find it. In teaching, the analogue is the scope and sequence. We introduce each subject and topic so that it builds on previous understanding. I wonder if some meta structure or learning 'tracks' that are curated on top of the article structure might solve part of the problem?
