Who said anything about "scary?" You assume I don't understand them, or that "not helpful" is a substitute for "unfamiliarity" or some other kind of similar deficiency. That's not very charitable.
I learned the jargon as part of my academic background. That was part of the reason I made the comment. These terms are jargon, or terms-of-art. Knowing jargon isn't the same as knowing the things jargon describes or having the capacity to reason about them well. Similarly, not knowing the jargon does not imply ignorance, stupidity, fear, or any of a number of other negative things.
