I see validity on both sides of the table. Yeah, someone new and experienced should have all the effort possible put into them by others trying to catch them up.. on the other hand the whole 'ELI5' phenomenon really has no place in niches that really have no point to be generalized for the average population. 'ELI5' breaks down when comprehension of multiple topics is required for elucidation; i.e.: a layman's explanation of quantum chromodynamics requires many other base level comprehensions before it can be tidily explained. The 'ELI5' thing is cute, and it has a place -- but it shouldn't be generalized to all education across the board.
