I don't think it's important to specify the target audience's required knowledge or level. I often start to read article outside of my knowledge/competences and yes, often stop because I'm lost in terminology and don't want to read further. But, it also happens that I want to know more and discover what specialists consider "basic knowledge". This is the exact pattern that made me want to read your text.
