I am all for science education, and ultimately I agree with the sentiment that it would be nice to have a repository of easy-to-understand articles about technical topics. However, I still can't help but feel that this is a profoundly selfish point (probably because of the negative connotations of "elitist"). I don't think articles should be simplified for the minority of readers that don't have sufficient background. Most people who read about electroweak interactions or graphene won't be laymen. Shouldn't the articles cater to them? Not everything is easy, science can intrinsically be hard, and I am not being elitist for pointing this out.
