I find it's much more common to see > Clearly, that was what I should have said in the first place, but I hadn't thought of it. as in the linked article as opposed to > Most IT people i know actually like it when people outside their field don't understand what they're doing when they're using jargon and acronyms and technical slang. It makes them look bright (or so they think). Obviously, we all have different experiences, and I'm not trying to say what you've seen isn't a thing. But I'm happy to report that most of the people I know don't like it when their communication is ineffective and are happy when they find an effective way to remove a layer of jargon (at least as long as it doesn't come with a loss of precision) to make things clearer for everyone.
