Hard disagree. If you want to have a meaningful dialogue with competent specialists, the burden of learning the jargon is on you.
Philosophers spend a lot of time in term definitions and it's the only way to avoid the conversation devolving into talking past each other.
Rigor might be exhausting, the same way that exercising is. No one is forcing you to do it, but you can only reap the benefits by making the effort yourself.
