As a counterexample, imagine reading a book on mathematics that did not use any special notation, instead relying on natural-language descriptions of formulas and algorithms. Or imagine reading a book on molecular biology that didn't use any technical vocabulary or diagrams, instead relying on colloquial language and descriptions.
