I dunno if you've ever visited /pol/, but on the board they sometimes bring up something called a "power-level". It can basically be defined as how much you know.
Keep this in mind for just a moment.

Now say you're talking with a friend. What you gotta realize is that your knowledge of a subject is contingent upon their knowledge of the subject. You can't hold a conversation, you can't right talk about something if you're friend doesn't know what the heck you're talking about.
Keep this in mind too for a moment.

You ever been to a foreign neighborhood? If'n you're rich you ever been to a poor neighborhood? If'n you're poor you ever been to a rich neighborhood? You tend to--or at least you should--modify your behavior in a way that's typical to the foreign surroundings.

Now modifying your behavior as such doesn't mean becoming a different person entirely. What you do is, speak and act in a way that can translate your genuine nature and your knowledge of a subject ("power-level") into a manner that others (foreigners( people that don't know what you know of a subject)) can understand.

So when speaking to someone who may not know what you know, you can't just speak in terms, with terms, which only you understand. You can't have a conversation like that because you are just speaking gibberish like a retard to them (and not that it is gibberish in general, but because it is gibberish to them).

That make sense?
