The way I think about it is this. There are roughly two groups of people:
- Some people will not care / be dismissive of what I have to say. I probably don't want to talk to these people much.
- Some people will be interested! I probably will like these people.
If I use technical jargon, I am optimizing to impress people I don't really care about impressing - and I will be pushing away the people that I would actually be interested to spend time with.
If I speak respectfully, i.e. the simple explanation, it will resonate more with the people I like. I will push away the people who don't care, but I didn't really want to talk with them anyways.
