I disagree. With anything technical, there's going to be many ways to explain it, and the best way depends on the audience. I don't think every article should be written for the same audience. Some pages will likely be visited by all sorts of people, and some only by experts. If you're writing for experts and don't assume they already know a bunch of things, it's going to be many times less concise and clear than it should be. You would have to repeat fundamental math and physics education on every page like this one if you wanted to explain to a general audience. An article like "Kosterlitz–Thouless transition" is not even being seen by a general audience anyways, except for when some news-worthy event like this happens, so why write like it's being read by someone it's not? It's not like writing this stuff is easy.
