I completely agree with you. OTOH, all fields of study have their particular 
internal 'jargon.' I don't see this as being particularly bad. Archeologists, 
biologists, nuclear physicists, medical technicians and historical cookery 
engineers all have their jargons. I fail to see why any group should be 
particularly jargonless..... It is a necessary and predictable evolution of 
language within topic specific groups, IMO.
