I think it depends. Anecdotally, I personally feel very unanchored and semi-anxious when someone just dives in to the explanation of "how we do it" without the context of why we do it this way and how we got here. I find it similar to the use of acronyms. When an explanation introduces domain-specific acronyms I always ask what the acronym stands for. It's important to me because just memorizing key "ABC" and associating it with some kind of outcome forms a very weak bond in my brain. If I know what the acronym stands for, the bond is far stronger and larger pieces of the picture are revealed. Interestingly, I find that when I ask an explainer what an acronym stands for there's a couple classes of responses. In my experience, most are simply that the explainer doesn't know. And among those explainers, most don't care. But some will be curious and look it up. A few will know and you can tell that they find it important too. Fewer yet, will explain the definition when introducing the acronym and maybe even comment about its origins. I'm guessing that these classes of people would also correlate closely to those who prefer turn-by-turn directions vs a route on a map with the full context of other routes in the area.
