Domain Terminology and First-Principles Detail
Using the precise vocabulary of the field, including standard numbers, material designations, and underlying mechanisms, rather than an outsider's approximation.
Analogy Mental model
A layman says the pan is heavy and nothing sticks. A materials engineer says it is forged from high-purity iron, nitride-hardened to form a dense oxide layer, and certified for food contact.
In practice What you actually do
Serve both audiences in the same page: use the plain analogy to keep a newcomer oriented, and place the standard reference, the measurement method, and the mechanism in the specification block where precision is expected.
Where people get burned Pitfalls
Terminology density is one of the signals used to judge expertise, and the same research found that adding technical vocabulary to text aimed at specialist queries improves how authoritative the passage is judged to be.
