I'll give you that. Someone called me on this in a security discussion by recommending people get a glossary. The terms were all recent and modern in this case but mainstream crowd apparently wasn't aware of any of them. So, I went back and explained each one so the reader would have context in the previous post. The vote count indicated that worked better.
That's happened enough that I sent out a recommendation to a bunch of people in high security industry to straight up drop our terminology when addressing a wide audience, look up what they call everything we talk about, and go through a major revision process on each post to translate it to their language. Might be able to get adoption of some of the techniques that already solved so many problems but just have no awareness or willingness to understand how they're normally presented. Not sure how many are going to do that rather than say "it's not our fault they didn't Google (topic) 101 to get the basic terminology and foundations."
I feel revision and avoiding acronyms particularly will help us but transferring the wisdom will still be an uphill battle. Especially with the Silicon Valley startups...
