Once upon a time a top scientists could contribute to biology, chemistry, and physics, yet today this is extremely unlikely. All the knowledge we accumulate and build on need names, structures, and nuance. You can't just throw that all away and describe what you are doing or thinking limited to a basic highschool level vocabulary.
The problems we face are harder, for complex, and more esoteric than ever before, and it is amazing.

More importantly, often key limitations are overlooked in both to make the research look way more groundbreaking than it really is. Caveat lector: speaking mostly for computer science and medicine.
